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
How to Measure Quality Models? Digitization into Informative Models Re-use
No full text3D models from passive muted subjects, often used in the books and in
preservation design reports as powerful images dense of contents, have nowadays
the opportunity to become ’live gears’ leveraging knowledge, interpretation, and
management into preservation objectives till to better-informed fruition. To this
aim, we need to build up reliable and re-usable 3D Quality models. How to shift
from a 3D model toward a 3D quality model?
This contribution intends to focus on the parameters defining a 3D Quality
model catching the heritage complexity with its components in a holistic methodological
and practical vision. A radar chart has been used to manage all the parameters.
First of all, Geometry describes a quality model: parameters for data acquisition,
on-site surveying, and model processing to obtain 2D-3D Geometry quality
are defined. The concept of scale associated with measurable parameters defining
the Grade of Accuracy is proposed and applied to the surveying and to the 3D
models. 3D models can be considered tools to decode the complexity of cultural
heritage made by the different transformations across the centuries, anthropicnatural
hazards, climate change threats and events (such as earthquakes, fires,
wars). Thus, Geometry is not enough to describe such complexity; it represents
the first step. Materials and Construction technologies analysis is the second pillar
qualifying a quality model. The connection with the indirect data source (i.e.,
historical reports and archives documents), is the third pillar to be reconnected
to the Geometry and Material analysis in the quality definition. HBIM represents
a multidisciplinary environment to convey the information related to geometry
and models. Furtherly, several parameters are identified to describe the quality of
informative models, as in the case ofObject Libraries and Building archeology progressively
feeding such models. BIM Level of Developments (phases) and Level
of Geometry (contents, not scale!) have been adapted to the HBIM, introducing
digitization, surveying, andHBIM modeling into the preservation process. Finally,
a quality model is defined by the capability to be re-used circulating Information
andModels among the end-users as in the case of informed VR/AR through CDE
and XR platforms
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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

Mapping the Discipline of the Olympic Games An Author-Cocitation Analysis
No full textThe authors conducted an author cocitation analysis on prominent authors writing about the Olympics during the 1990s. Author cocitation is an established bibliometric technique that can be used to measure the relative similarities of topics written about by the cited authors. This enables a visual representation of the “intellectual space” of the discipline, in this case the Olympics, to be created for the period under review. So core and peripheral research areas are identified, along with their major contributors. The representation appears as a two-dimensional cluster-enhanced map. Subject expertise was then applied to the results to place labels on the generated clusters of authors and their topics
