Public Corruption: A Study across Regions in Italy
No full textThis work explores the determinants of public corruption using a regional panel dataset on crimes perpe-trated in Italy by public officials against the public administration in combination with a set of demographicand socio-economic variables. The results suggest that both the size and the composition of public spend-ing at the local level explain corruption. We also find that regions where social capital is higher are morelikely to face a lower incidence of corruption crimes. Moreover, regions which have historically placed lessimportance on rooting out corruption may be stuck in a vicious circle of higher levels of corruption

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
