Spatial justice in fragile peripheral areas: analysing italian strategies and approaches to counter territorial inequalities and spatial injustice
Full text linkSpatial (in)justice is a multidisciplinary topic commonly associated with environmental and territorial justice. Considering the existence of Italy's territorial inequalities, the advent of the National Strategy for Inner Areas and the chances to reverse existing imbalances due to EU instruments, tools, and funds, this paper aims to verify how spatial justice and territorial inequalities have been addressed into the national framework and check what are the strategies and approaches to overcome the existing fragility and build a more just and equitable environment in Italy. The inner area's inhabitants are deprived of citizenship rights and suffer from the absence and distance of suitable essential services. These factors unquestionably reduce the residents' opportunities and choices and corroborate the existence of spatial injustice and socioeconomic disparities. A content analysis review details innovative strategies and approaches and explains how healthcare, mobility, and education services will overcome complex issues in fragile peripheral areas.La (in)justicia espacial es un tema multidisciplinar comúnmente asociado a la justicia medioambiental y territorial. Teniendo en cuenta la existencia de desigualdades territoriales en Italia, la llegada de la National Strategy for Inner Areas y las posibilidades de invertir los desequilibrios existentes gracias a los instrumentos, herramientas y fondos de la UE, este documento pretende verificar cómo se han abordado la justicia espacial y las desigualdades territoriales en el marco nacional y comprobar cuáles son las estrategias y enfoques para superar la fragilidad existente y construir un entorno más justo y equitativo en Italia. Los habitantes de las zonas interiores se ven privados de derechos de ciudadanía y sufren la ausencia y la lejanía de servicios esenciales adecuados. Estos factores reducen indudablemente las oportunidades y opciones de los residentes y corroboran la existencia de injusticia espacial y disparidades socioeconómicas. Una revisión de análisis de contenido detalla estrategias y enfoques innovadores y explica cómo los servicios de salud, movilidad y educación superarán los complejos problemas de las frágiles zonas periféricas.Peer Reviewe

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
