European Society of Cardiology Congress 2019 Together With the World Congress of Cardiology in Paris: The Scientific Chairs Give the Inside Track on Achieving Excellence and Engagement
No full textHow do you attract 33 500 people from around the world to a cardiovascular conference? Offer plenty of important new science. That was the recipe for the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and its Congress 2019, held in Paris over 5 days this summer. Chairing the Program Committee of any congress is challenging enough, but organizing the Scientific Program of the world’s largest cardiovascular congress is a daunting task. This year, ESC President Professor Barbara Casadei appointed 2 chairs: Professor Silvia Priori and Professor Marco Roff
What a congress!
No full textThe 2019 Annual Congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), held in collaboration with the World Congress of Cardiology of the World Heart Federation, took place in Paris from August 31 to September 4. With more than 33 500 attendees, this meeting of the largest congress of cardiovascular (CV) medicine in the world achieved an all-time record of attendance. For the first time, it was hosted in a venue in downtown Paris, Port de Versailles, which has recently been extensively renovated. Access was easy thanks to a wide range of public transportations including the Metro.
At the entrance, the ‘wow effect’ was created by a circular LED screen measuring more than 120 m long and 2 m high. The compact setting of the venue, with the vast majority of the activities taking place in the central three-story building, immediately conquered the attendees allowing delegates to easily become oriented and feel comfortable. Despite the attractiveness of Paris and the nice weather, the sessions were packed until the end of the day
Luigi Magnani e il “tenimento” di Mamiano
No full textSulla base di un’approfondita ricerca catastale e notarile, si ripercorrono dai primi dell’Ottocento le vicende di proprietà, le fasi di espansione e contrazione dimensionale, le variazioni colturali della destinazione dei suoli del latifondo acquistato dalla famiglia del noto critico musicale e collezionista Luigi Magnani nel 1940 a Mamiano di Traversetolo (PR), fondatore della Fondazione Magnani Rocca, in occasione di una grande retrospettiva sui molteplici aspetti della sua figura poliedrica
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
