Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Longevità e capacità di resilienza delle imprese familiari nella provincia di Salerno fra XX e XXI secolo
No full textAfter Second World War, the Salerno province industry lived an intense growth, mainly thanks to the aids for the southern Italy. There were not many steelworks, petrochemical and engineering mills, compared to other areas of the southern Italy, but there was a lively movement of small and medium industries, especially in manufacturing. Among the seventies and eighties the national and international crisis damaged the Italian economy and also other Western economies. In the Salerno province, the state enterprises, those belonging to the foreign multinationals or the great enterprises of the northern Italy, were the worst hit by the crisis. On the other hand, although with uncertainty, many local enterprises managed to have a continuous development. They were mainly family businesses, created and managed by the Salerno province entrepreneurs, expression of the territory, the culture, the traditions that have been able to take energy from the local context and the resources to aim at the excellence. To this today, though forty years of special legislation for the southern Italy are not enough to launch a continuous development and in particular an independent development of the southern enterprises, the industrial development of southern Italy is linked to small and medium enterprises, especially in the manufacturing sector. Among the several experiences of local and family capitalism of the southern Italy, I have chosen to analyze one of the entrepreneurial reality more long-running of the Salerno province. It is the system of enterprises of the Di Mauro family from Cava de’Tirreni. Since the end of nineteenth century, the Di Mauro family was able to establish, expand and reinvent its business in the field of printing, publishing, and converting industry, passing unscathed to the difficult junctures of the twentieth century, and now coming to be very important in the business of the southern Italy.La provincia di Salerno ha rappresentato, nella seconda metà del Novecento, una delle realtà più rilevanti del Mezzogiorno d’Italia sotto il profilo industriale. Nel secondo dopoguerra l’industria nell’area salernitana visse un’intensa crescita, soprattutto grazie agli aiuti per il Mezzogiorno. Rispetto alle altre aree del Sud Italia, non vi furono grandissimi stabilimenti siderurgici, metalmeccanici e petrolchimici ma vi fu un movimento vivace di piccole e medie industrie soprattutto nel settore manifatturiero. Tra gli anni Settanta e Ottanta le crisi nazionali e internazionali segnarono il passo dell’economia italiana e più in generale di tutte le economie occidentali. Nella provincia di Salerno le fabbriche statali, quelle appartenenti a multinazionali estere o alle grandi imprese del settentrione furono le più colpite dalla crisi. Al contrario molte aziende locali riuscirono, sebbene con momenti di incertezza, ad avere un ciclo di sviluppo ininterrotto. Si tratta principalmente di imprese familiari, create e gestite da imprenditori salernitani, espressione del territorio, della cultura, delle tradizioni, che hanno saputo trarre dal contesto locale le energie e spesso le risorse per puntare all’eccellenza. Ancora oggi, sebbene quarant’anni di legislazione speciale per il Mezzogiorno non siano bastati a mettere in moto uno sviluppo duraturo e soprattutto autonomo delle imprese meridionali, lo sviluppo industriale meridionale è legato alle piccole e medie attività imprenditoriali operanti soprattutto nel settore manifatturiero. Tra le diverse esperienze di capitalismo locale e familiare di quest’area del Mezzogiorno si è scelto di analizzare una delle realtà imprenditoriali più longeve della provincia salernitana: il sistema di imprese della famiglia Di Mauro di Cava de’Tirreni. Dalla fine dell’Ottocento, la famiglia ha saputo affermare, espandere e reinventare la propria attività nel campo della tipografia, dell’editoria, e della cartotecnica, passando indenne per le difficili congiunture del ’900, e giungendo a essere attualmente una realtà di punta nel tessuto imprenditoriale del Mezzogiorno.In the second half of the twentieth century, the Salerno province represented one of the most important industrial reality of the southern Italy
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
