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
DOING JUSTICE FOR PEACE. VICTIMS’ RIGHTS AND MEMORIAL JUSTICE IN THE COLOMBIAN TRANSITIONAL PROCESS
Full text linkIn November 2016, Colombia signed a Final Peace Agreement (FPA) that redefined the international standards for alternative penalties. The FPA became a global reference of agreed settlements to armed conflicts and one of the most victim-centered peace agreements ever negotiated. It foresees Restorative Sanctions, which combine restorative and retributive approaches to justice and result from a dialogical process involving victims and perpetrators.
Memory is at the core of the first Restorative Sanctions proposals. This is ground-breaking because, in previous transitional processes, memory was framed as a complement, an alternative, or a means to achieve justice but never as a form of punishment resulting from the judicial procedure.
Throughout its five chapters, this interdisciplinary research —which combines legal, social, and political approaches— contributes to understanding how the Restorative Sanctions comply with the international commitments regarding individual criminal responsibility (Chapter 1); which is the domestic framework of the FPA and the Restorative Sanctions (Chapter 2); how should victims participate in designing the sanctions (Chapter 3); how they participated in practice (Chapter 4); why memory won such prominence, and what kind of memory should emerge from the judicial procedures to serve peace and justice (Chapter 5).
Based on qualitative techniques (observing, reading, and questioning) and a grounded theory methodology, this thesis addresses the following question: What lessons can be extracted from this case about the relationship between memory and justice?
By contrasting the theoretical frameworks with their practical unfolding, the thesis contributes to the debate regarding victims’ rights and the role of memory in transitional justice. It concludes by listing lessons learned and recommendations for future transitional processes.

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
Mezzi informatici per l'accessibilità glottodidattica: riferimenti teorici e proposte di applicazione
No full textThis paper starts from a reflection, and a further adjustment for special needs, on Balboni’s model for didactic action. In this way, it stands out the importance of the identification of the causes and consequences of deficits or difficulties of the student. This will help to identify the most appropriate teaching actions to reduce/surround/prevent barriers to language teaching. This will allow the teacher to identify not only the most suitable techniques for language teaching but also the most appropriate it systems to achieve the objective. In the second part of the paper, we propose a practical example, based on dyslexia, for the teaching/learning of prepositions with verbs of motion in Spanish. This is done by creating and using an interactive and multimedia book (iBook). For the creation of this material, we have only used free (or very low price) software and very easy to use (just need to know how to use a simple word processing and a presentations program)
