Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Ampliamento della galleria d’arte Z33 a Hasselt, Belgio
No full textL’edificio progettato da Francesca Torzo per la galleria d’arte Z33 si presenta subito come un volume differente rispetto al resto del recinto nel quale si inserisce, pur conservandone materiali e sistema costruttivo. Il mattone è modulo e misura di tutto il progetto, si confronta tridimensionalmente con tutte le superfici finestrate girando e rigirando per accomodare le parti. L’ampliamento è concepito come fosse una città in cui le stanze sono edifici e piazze che si susseguono offrendo una molteplicità di prospettive verso e attraverso il giardino
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
New York, Breuer Building vendesi: un progetto di datamuseo
No full textSin dall’inizio della sua costruzione, l’edificio progettato da Marcel Breuer
per il Whitney Museum di New York ha dovuto lottare per far fronte sia alla crescente necessità di spazio espositivo e di immagazzinamento delle opere d’arte, sia alla sua altrettanto crescente popolarità che lo ha visto imporsi come vivace centro culturale conosciuto in tutto il mondo. Affinché si adattasse a queste sopraggiunte necessità oltre che alle nuove modalità espositive dell’arte contemporanea, negli anni sono state necessarie molte modifiche. Queste, oltre a minacciare l’integrità del Breuer Building, prima l’hanno privato di tutto il senso poetico conferitogli dall’autore e poi anche di tutto quello che era rimasto, lasciandolo completamente vuoto, pronto per essere messo in vendit
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Kitsch Kitchen
No full textIn September 1984, on West Broadway between White and Franklin, where today stands an anonymous residential building, the camp had opened a restaurant. The United States had just left behind the turmoil of the Vietnam War and the country being led by a Hollywood actor embodying the unrestrained optimism of the neoliberal project. All the artists had moved to the loft district known as Tribeca, and a “For Rent” sign hung on the door of the old Teddy’s, the Sal Cucinotta’s swanky restaurant.
This combination of events, held together by the partnership of eccentric Catalan artist Antoni Miralda and Spanish chef Montse Guillén, conceived the glittering art-culinary project known as El Internacional Tapas Bar & Restaurant. On the menu was a bizarre combination of politicised environmentalist stance and aestheticised fast food debauchery
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
