Suicide by burning
No full textThrough a review of the Italian and international scientific literature, the Authors analyse the phenomenon of suicide by burning. By references to cases in the literature, they analyse parameters of an epidemiological statistics nature (sex and age of the victims, place and means of performing the act) as well as the motives that may be hidden behind such an event. The cultural and historical factors that influence suicide by burning are analysed, with emphasis on the psychiatric history, which currently seems to play a fundamental role in the victim's choice of means. This work is an initial approach to the study of the phenomenon of suicide by burning and is an essential preliminary to a review of the cases in the anatomical- pathological section of the Institute of Forensic Medicine at the 'La Sapienza' University of Rome

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
