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

ever-new, albeit peaceful, duel
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
Tradurre l'invisibile
No full textCultura e visibile sono due termini con i quali chi si occupa di design della comunicazione visiva si imbatte continuamente, inciampandoci, girandoci intorno, raccogliendoli e portandoli via con sé, facendoli diventare soggetti più che parole che
per nessun motivo possono essere ignorati tanto diventano centrali ed essenziali nel processo progettuale di ogni designer. E tanto accade in ogni fase della costruzione della propria professionalità, ovviamente con una diversa consapevolezza e
padronanza delle capacità acquisite, all’inizio durante il percorso di studi, nella struttura della propria formazione, nell’esperienza più matura del progetto, della ricerca, della sperimentazione, nella trasposizione della conoscenza attraverso la scrittura, la didattica.‘Culture’ and ‘visible’ are two terms that are a constant presence in the life of visual communication designers,
who stumble in them, move around them, picking them up and carrying them away, turning them into subjects, rather
than words, that for no reason can be ignored, crucial in every designer’s creative process as they are. This happens
at every stage of professional growth, every time with a different awareness and mastery of the skills acquired – at
the beginning, during studies; in the structuring of one’s training; in the more mature experience of design, research,
experimentation; in conveying knowledge through writing and teaching
Pre-visioni per Milano
No full textL’Aiap ha 70 anni. Già 70 anni? No, solo 70 anni. La frase è ripresa da un manifesto di Massimo Dradi del 1978, solo il numero è modificato per potersi adattare alla reale età dell’associazione, che nell’anno appena trascorso ha celebrato il settantesimo anniversario dalla sua fondazione, mentre il senso è funzionale al rivendicare la scelta deliberata di adoperare una duplice visione, capace di guardare al passato nel conoscere e tutelare la storia e al contempo di guardare al futuro nel prefigurare nuovi scenari per la disciplina e i designer della comunicazione visiva
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
