Het eerste Italiaanse geschiedwerk over de Opstand: Francesco Bocchi’s kroniek van een oorlog of biografie van een Italiaanse oorlogsheld?
No full textThe First Italian History of the Dutch Revolt by Francesco Bocchi : Chronicle of a War or Biography of a War Hero ?
Francesco Bocchi’s manuscript from 1585 marks the beginning of a host of early seventeenth century Italian histories of the Dutch Revolt. Religious, political, military, and commercial factors underlay the Italian curiosity about the Revolt. This article centres on an aspect of the extraordinary Italian interest that has not been well studied so far. It will be demonstrated, based on Bocchi’s manuscript, that writing about foreign countries proved to be an appropriate way to bring current local and national political issues up for discussion. Bocchi’s unpublished work is a typical example of writing history of another country that enabled the Florentine author to criticize the state of affairs in the Spanish-Habsburg army and Spanish policies in Italy.Le premier ouvrage historique italien sur la Révolte des Pays-Bas par Francesco Bocchi : la chronique d’une guerre ou la biographie d’un héros de guerre ?
Le manuscrit de Francesco Bocchi de 1585 est le premier d’une série de chroniques italiennes sur la Révolte des Pays-Bas datant du début du XVIIe siècle. Des éléments religieux, politiques, militaires et commerciaux expliquent la curiosité italienne pour la Révolte. Le présent article traite un aspect de cet extraordinaire intérêt italien, qui n’a pas encore été bien étudié. Le manuscrit de Bocchi montre qu’écrire sur l’étranger était apparemment un bon moyen pour mettre en cause des questions politiques locales et nationales de l’époque. L’oeuvre non publiée de Bocchi est un exemple d’une historiographie sur un autre pays qui donnait à l’auteur florentin la possibilité de critiquer le cours des choses dans l’armée hispano-habsbourgeoise ainsi que la politique espagnole en Italie.Het manuscript van Francesco Bocchi uit 1585 vormt het begin van een reeks vroeg zeventiende-eeuwse Italiaanse geschiedenissen over de Nederlandse Opstand. Religieuze, politieke, militaire en commerciële factoren lagen ten grondslag aan de Italiaanse nieuwsgierigheid voor de Opstand. In deze bijdrage wordt een aspect van de bijzondere Italiaanse interesse voor het voetlicht gebracht dat nog niet goed is bestudeerd. Aan de hand van Bocchi’s handschrift zal worden aangetoond dat schrijven over het buitenland blijkbaar een geschikt middel was om actuele lokale en nationale politieke kwesties ter discussie te stellen. Het ongepubliceerde werk van Bocchi is zo’n voorbeeld van geschiedschrijving over een ander land dat de Florentijnse auteur in de gelegenheid stelde kritiek te leveren op de gang van zaken in het Spaans-Habsburgse leger en het Spaanse beleid in Italië.Reijner Cees.

Gesprekken in Genua. Giovanni Costa over het Twaalfjarig Bestand
No full textIn early-modern Europe, historiography was often deployed as a political means for addressing internal issues. An example of such a history text written with a local agenda in mind is the tract Ragionamento sopra la triegua de' Paesi Bassi by Giovanni Costa, which was published in 1610 in Genoa. Taking the actual case of the Twelve Years' Truce during the period of the Dutch Revolt, Costa discusses in fact the internal affairs of Genoa, a Ligurian city-state functioning as satellite state of the Spanish Habsburg Empire. This article is centered on the question of why Costa opted for such an abstract and remote topic for this politico-economic backdrop, and also addresses the matter of his intended readership
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
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
