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

Decentramento e accentramento nel Francia della Restaurazione
No full textThe essay delves into the debate on centralization (the term was coined in 1820s) and decentralization in French Restoration (1815-1830) to explain how political opportunism played an important role. Although decentralization was advocated by both royalists and liberals, hidden political agendas and tactical consideration resulted in the failure of all attempts to reform the local administration. But despite this failure, the debate was important from and intellectual and theoretical point of view. Although some of its advocates emphasized practical considerations first and foremost, arguing that centralization made the administration slower and less and less efficient, more often the proponents of decentralization focused on general political considerations. Different types of arguments were developed to plead for decentralization. They objected against centralization because it violated local communities right to make decisions about their own interests, claiming that local self-government was necessary not only for individual freedom, but above all to instill patriotism in the population
Il federalismo alla prova (Rosmini, Manzoni)
No full textLa proposta per un assetto federale concreto per l'Italia che provenne da Antonio Rosmini merita di essere studiata e capita. L'ideale federalistico rosminiano fu avversato dal suo grande amico, Alessandro Manzoni, il quale non riteneva possibile una coabitazione in Italia di tanti Principi sotto un'autorità federale. Manzoni non riteneva possibile affidare al papa Pio IX la presidenza della Confederazione italiana allo scopo di modificare l'assetto dello stesso potere temporale del papa
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
