Per la storia antica dell’antologia Salmasiana,
No full textIn spite of the losses and many accidents in the text’s transmission, the first part of Codex Salmasianus (Par. Lat. 10318) keeps accurately enough on the structure and the original content of an extensive poetic miscellany, assembled in Chartage immediately after the Vandalic domination (533-534). A new structural examination of the so-called ‘Salmasian Anthology’ has recognized the signs of an unitary project, which certainly goes back to the work of a single editor. Moreover, the emendation of a textual corruption at the beginning of the enigmatic Praefatio (AL 19 R.2 = 6 Sh.B.) has allowed to identify Luxorius not only as the leading poet of the anthology but also as the author of the Praefatio itself, and the editor of the whole collection. The Praefatio, whose obscure language is a real code of initiation, shows that the anthology is not an individual but collective work, born within a society of Chartaginian docti uiri. They concur to the creation of the corpus with their own poems, their review, and also with their grammatical knowledge especially as regards the correct prosody
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Livelli di lingua e di cultura nel Chronicon di Andrea di Bergamo (IX secolo)
No full textIl contributo è dedicato ad una fase culturale e linguistica molto particolare nella transizione tra il latino e le lingue romanze. Il chronicon preso in esame, noto come Adbreviatio de gestis Langobardorum, si configura come un’opera semiletteraria, unico testo di questo genere per il nono secolo e per l’area bergamasca, area che nel complesso fornisce un buon corpus di documenti non letterari utili a capire la complessa facies culturale di quei secoli caratterizzati da continui avvicendamenti politico-sociali. L’autore del chronicon rivela il multiculturalismo e il plurilinguismo dell’epoca in modo inconsapevole e non controllato, testimone di una fase in cui i modelli culturali – in particolare quelli storiografico-letterari - non sono più quelli della tradizione classica. Un elemento di grande interesse è dato dalla possibilità di comparare i due testimoni di questo testo: il manoscritto coevo, che possiamo considerare autentico e privilegiato specchio della realtà linguistica del tempo e la copia del XII-XIII secolo, profondamente rimaneggiata nella struttura e frutto di un lavoro di “normalizzazione” dovuto all’azione di una coscienza linguistica diversa. Una serie di osservazioni, relative soprattutto alla morfosintassi, consente di mettere in discussione sia la natura della varietà di latino di questo testo e forse anche di quest’epoca, sia il suo ruolo di lingua veicolare in una società multietnica
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
