Traffici e scritture mercantili tra Bergamo e il Garda : I registri di Bartolomeo Avvocati (1416-1439)
No full textQuali erano gli orizzonti geografici, le ambizioni imprenditoriali e i saperi tecnici di un mercante lombardo del basso Medioevo? Il volume ricostruisce, nella prima parte, la fitta rete di affari del mercante bergamasco Bartolomeo Avvocati agli inizi del Quattrocento. Esponente di una famiglia assai ramificata, l’imprenditore era al centro di un network commerciale che, fra la città orobica, Brescia, il Garda e la pianura veronese, smerciava una pluralità di prodotti sui mercati intermedi; a ciò si affiancavano un’intensa attività creditizia e un investimento fondiario ben integrati con la rete d’affari parentale. La seconda parte del volume si concentra sulla documentazione prodotta e conservata da Bartolomeo. A quattro registri di conti in latino e in volgare, dei quali si propone l’edizione critica, si uniscono scritture private, carteggi e atti notarili la cui analisi permette di ricostruire non solo l’insieme delle interazioni finanziarie del mercante, ma anche la cultura documentaria, grafica e archivistica della sua cerchia

Pervasivi, polimorfi, performanti : Interventi grafici nella produzione notarile su registro del basso medioevo
No full textThe paper deals with a topic that, in the vast mass of research developed on the Italian and more specifically the European notariat, has so far remained marginal, namely that of the knowledge and skills expressed by notaries in interpreting and reworking concepts and ideas by drawing not only on the tools of oral and written communication, but also on those of graphic-expressive-artistic culture.
After examining the times, spaces, techniques and models of the graphic intervention of notaries, the functions that signs and drawings perform with respect to the fruition of the documentary text are analysed, whether it be validation, support for archival preservation or the explication of the identity or ideology of the producing subject

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
