    This research is connected to the study presented at the conference “Grumentum e il suo territorio nell’antichità” (Grumento Nova, April 2010). It offers a survey of the lamp fragments which come from the strata investigated in 2010 and 2011 excavation campaigns at Grumentum. It is provided a chronology in order to integrate excavation data and the analysis of the other typologies of material

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Neotera and her Iconography

    No full text
    The iconography of the Alexandrian goddess Neotera is recognized on one gem, several coins and a lead tessera. Her mentions on coins, inscriptions and other documents are presented. Her relation with Cleopatra Thea Neotera is explained as an indentification of the queen with Kore-Isis-Aphrodite, married with Antony, who was identified with Osiris-Dionysos

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    A new businesswoman from Roman Lucania: the brick and tile production of Titia and some remarks on the Titii of Grumentum

    In questo studio si presenta un nucleo di bolli laterizi inediti rinvenuti nelle campagne di scavo condotte presso l’area archeologica di Grumentum. Essi presentano tutti il marchio Titiae accompagnato in un caso dal nome personale Phileros. La produzione, databile tra la fine del I sec. a.C. e la metà del I d.C. su base paleografica, si colloca in concomitanza con la nota fase di sistemazione urbana della città. È quindi documentata un’attività produttiva che faceva capo ad un’imprenditrice, la cui gens di appartenenza è ben attestata in territorio grumentino tra I e II secolo, con diversi esponenti che ricoprono cariche all’interno di collegia religiosi. Questa nucleo inedito di marchi incrementa le testimonianze di laterizi bollati da produttrici donne nel I secolo, che per l’area lucana sono molto rare, e che in generale per quanto riguarda le produzioni non urbane presentano ancora notevoli problematiche di interpretazione

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We 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 link
    We 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
