Un lungo percorso con Guido
Full text linkThe essay looks back at the most important steps of the relationship between the author and his friend Guido Davide Neri: it is remembered the different way they used to approach the philosophy of history, in particular Marxism, although they were both students of the same professor, Banfi. Their attitude towards the historical background of those years was different too because Neri moved towards socialism, made a theoretical-philosophical consideration, while Papi was more pragmatic and focused on practical policy. The author runs through the philosophical season of 70’s shared and experienced with his friend, when the theoretical background of the University of Milan was focused on the Husserl’s lifeworld, inaugurated in Italy by Enzo Paci
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
Sull\u27epoca della trascendenza letteraria
Full text linkStarting From the Harad Weinrich’s book, Metafora e menzogna, la serenità dell’arte, Fulvio Papi go through an analysis about the fate of literature, retracing steps of its progressive process of commodification that finally has robbed it of its transcendental sense. Before the contemporary age, critics and publishers used to divided literary currents in “metaphorical fields” as semantic circuits defined by the homogeneity of the elements they were filled of. The creation of a “Metaphorical fields” was able to engage the immagination of the reader, dealing him to make out a new meaning of the reality starting from the literary fiction. However the germ of commodification creeps in literature from the modern age, more specifically from the moment the reader enjoys “the serenity of art” through which he is allowed to interpret more freely literary works that since now turns in a good “looking for an author”. But until the advent of contemporary, literary level doesn’t die in favour of an economic earn: the final merchant destiny regarding literature has not replaced yet the cultural selection. Trascendent value is save right now, but its forgetness is going to arrive with the contemporary age when the commodification will take place with its own “diktat” that puts literature’s sale potential as starndard of publication. Stylistic greatness is no longer the standard by which to evaluate the editability of a literature product. Sale forecast is the newrequirement
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
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
