Un maestro nell'età dei Paleologi: Massimo Planude e la tradizione sulla storia di Roma a Bisanzio
No full textGuglielmo Ferrero, Grandezza e decadenza di Roma
No full textOpera importante della cultura italiana tra Otto e Novecento, “Grandezza e decadenza di Roma” affronta uno dei periodi più controversi della storia antica: i decenni che portarono alla crisi e alla fine della repubblica romana e alla nascita del principato di Augusto. Nella penna di Guglielmo Ferrero la storia antica rivive attraverso una narrazione che ricostruisce scontri politici, lotte economiche e campagne militari, restituendo un ritratto vivido e intensamente psicologico dei protagonisti di quel periodo, da Silla a Cesare, da Marco Antonio a Ottaviano Augusto. Pubblicata in cinque volumi tra 1902 e 1907, l’opera di Ferrero ha rappresentato un momento di riflessione fondamentale nel panorama culturale dell’epoca, suscitando un ampio dibattito e forti contrasti soprattutto nel mondo accademico italiano; accolta con vivo entusiasmo dal grande pubblico, “Grandezza e decadenza di Roma” consacrò la fama del suo autore soprattutto in Francia e negli Stati Uniti, dove fu particolarmente amata e più volte ristampata. Il volume viene ripubblicato a settant’anni dall’ultima edizione, con l’aggiunta della prima traduzione italiana delle quattro appendici che Ferrero inserì nell’edizione francese
La politica dell’impero d’oriente nei Balcani dal 453 al 518
No full textThe policy of the Eastern Roman Empire in the Balkans between 453 and 518 A.D. can be
divided in three phases: a) from 453 to 469 the conflict against the Western Roman
Empire to maintain the control of Illyricum prevails ; Goths and Huns are settled extra
fines ; b) from 469 to 488 the conflict between the Goths of Theoderich Strabo and the
Goths of Theoderich the Amalian – a conflict intra fines – prevails ; c) from 488 to 518 the
Goths of Theoderich the Amalian are settled in Italy and the conflict to maintain the
control of Illyricum is back: so we could say that a) and b) coexist in c

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
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
