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

No full textAppropriate 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Progettisti a fumetti: quando la nona arte parla di progetto
No full textNonostante il fumetto rappresenti ancora un genere per alcuni aspetti di nicchia, negli ultimi anni si assiste a un momento di estrema vivacità editoriale che sottolinea le connessioni tra questi linguaggi narrativi e il mondo del design e dell’architettura. Quest’influenza, mai a senso unico, affonda le sue radici nella storia dell’architettura stessa, che a partire dagli anni ’60 con gli Archigram e prima con Le Corbusier, si confronta con il tema dell’ibridazione linguistica dando vita ad archi-fumetti e fumetti in- fografici. Nell’eterogenea produzione editoriale attuale risultano di particolare interesse dal punto di vista della rappresentazione le ‘biografie a fumetti’; un sottogenere in forte espansione che coinvolge principalmente il mondo della musica e dell’arte, ma che grazie alla recente collana proposta dalla casa editrice Centauria mostra negli ultimi dieci anni interesse anche verso l’area del progetto. Opere dedicate al lavoro e alla vita di progettisti come Le Corbusier, Sottsass, van der Rohe consentono in- teressanti riflessioni sulla modalità di comunicazione del processo progettuale e di rappresentazione delle opere.Tra queste, la presente ricerca si concentra su tre biografie edite nel 2019, dedicate ad altrettante progettiste: Eileen Gray, Lina Bo Bardi e Charlotte Perriand. Questi volumi indagano vita e lavoro di queste donne, dando il giusto spazio al loro ruolo nella storia e interpretando, in modi differenti, il loro apporto attraverso il disegno e il colore.In these years the comics are living, despite the fact that they are still a niche genre in some aspects, a moment of extreme editorial vivacity that underlines the connections between these narrative languages and the world of design and architecture.
This never one-way influence has its roots in the history of architecture itself, which, starting in the 60s with Archigram and before that with Le Corbusier, faces the theme of linguistic hybridization and gives life to archi-comics and infographic comics. ‘Comics biographies’ are, in the heterogeneous current editorial production, of particular interest from the representational point of view.This is a sub-genre in strong expansion, which mainly involves the world of music and art, the latter thanks to the recent series proposed by the publishing house Centauria, and which in the last ten years has also shown interest in the project sector. Graphic novels dedicated to the work and life of designers such as Le Corbusier, Sottsass, Mies allow interesting reflections on the way of communication and representation of the design process and of their works. Among them, the present research focuses on three biographies published in 2019 and dedicated to three female designers: Eileen Gray, Lina Bo Bardi and Charlotte Perriand.These volumes investigate the lives and work of these women, giving due space to their role in history and interpreting, in different ways, their contribution through drawing and color
