L'innovazione digitale nell'editoria: un modello di analisi del processo di adozione dell'e-book reader da parte del consumatore
No full textLa digitalizzazione è una delle trasformazioni più importanti della società attuale. Si tratta di un fenomeno che sta modificando drasticamente i modelli di business, i processi di acquisto dei consumatori e le forme di commercio. La diffusione delle tecnologie digitali in particolare influenza sia il modo in cui le imprese forniscono ai consumatori nuovi prodotti e servizi, sia le forme di uso e consumo degli stessi. Una più attenta analisi dei modelli comportamentali dei consumatori può fornire utili indicazioni alla ricerca e agli operatori economici nel definire le proprie strategie di mercato. Il contesto di analisi del nostro lavoro è quello dell’editoria digitale con riferimento al processo di adozione dell’ebook reader del consumatore nel mercato italiano. Dai risultati della ricerca si possono derivare utili indicazioni per capire i motivi del ritardo della sua adozione nel mercato italiano rispetto a quello degli altri paesi da una parte e, fornire valide indicazioni per migliorarne la diffusione e preparare gli operatori ad affrontare la sfida del nuovo ed emergente prodotto dell’editoria digitale, l’audiolibro dall’altra
How to Foster Online Wine Purchase? Empirical Evidences from Italy
No full textThe importance of e-commerce platforms for commercialization of goods and services has been widely explored in marketing literature. E-commerce is emerging as a relevant distribution channel in the wine industry also. The wine e-commerce platforms show a slower growth rate when compared to other goods and services categories – such as electronic and digital products. This is particularly true in the Italian context where the total volume of e-commerce sales in the food and drink sector represents less than 1% of the total online sales. Therefore, it is important to investigate the underlying mechanisms explaining consumers’ positive and negative intentions to purchase wine online. This will provide theoretical and practical insights to marketing strategists of the wine industry. Hence, this study proposes and empirically tests a conceptual model concerning the antecedents of consumers’ intention to purchase wine online. Specifically, the objective is to identify the differences that are specific in the context of the wine buying process. Data were collected from a sample of Italian online consumers who habitually purchase wine online. Confirmatory factor analysis (Cfa) and structural equation modeling (Sem) were used to test the hypothesized relationships. Results show that product information availability and convenience propensity significantly influence the digital channel selection and, consequently, loyalty and patronage intention
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

Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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 linkWe 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
