No full textScelte di sviluppo, innovazione organizzativa e rendicontazione sociale: il bilancio di mandato dell'Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata
Full text linkThe aim of this paper is to show the latest developments about social accountability in the university sector. In the first section the authors examine different approaches developed at European and International levels: social reports in Italy, “knowledge” reports (Wissensbilanz) in continental Europe and “Key Facts” statements in US. In the second section the focus is on the recent University of Rome “Tor Vergata” accountability report, which underlines and comments many performance indicators

Organizing healthcare in remote rural areas: comparing experiences of service delivery redesign
No full textBackground: The debate about closing small hospitals located in rural and/or remote areas is not novel. However, demographic and epidemiologic trends, together with technologic advances are associated with emerging clusters of complex patients. Rural and/or remote areas tend to anticipate the national demographic forecasts. Therefore, concerns about appropriate health services accessibility are legitimate.
Method: We selected three cases of health service delivery in rural and/or remote areas resulting from reorganization of previously existing hospitals: two cases are located in Switzerland and one in Italy. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in each organization, where researchers collected also official documents. Each researcher coded the data
independently. Then codes were iteratively discussed to identify common dimensions suitable for comparison across the cases.
Discussion: The comparative analysis showed that the apparent contrast between social/health and policy/managerial instances has reached a point of equilibrium. The reorganization processes can be interpreted as an optimization of the
coordination of the health and social resources available within and close to the community. The existence of a leading reference subject, human resource management, and logistic arrangements played an important role in the success of the initiatives
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
