    The construction of an underground metropoli- tan transport system in Naples is an exemplary combination of art and functionality that re- designs and redefines urban places, involving important names from the international archi- tecture scene. The Municipio Station, in particu- lar, redefined neuralgic places rich in historical memory of both the surface and underground city, refounding the image and matter of the city. A street-square illuminated by a long blade of light runs uninterruptedly from the Maritime Station to Palazzo San Giacomo. Architecture constitutes here a founding principle of connec- tion between elements distributed in different times, layers and spaces and articulates in “com- mon places” a set of conditions of porosity, con- nectivity, permeability and accessibility

    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
