Informatione del Pestifero, et contagioso morbo: il quale affligge et have afflitto questa città di Palermo ... (Parte prima)
No full textIl volume ripropone il testo ormai raro di G.F. Ingrassia sulla peste di Palermo del 1575, pubblicao nel 1576. Gli A. hanno annotato il testo con note a piè di pagina e riassunto di ogni capitolo a ciascun inizio. Il volume è preceduto da un saggio introduttivo
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
L'Informatione del pestifero et contagioso morbo ... nella visione storica ed etica.
No full textIl saggio introduttivo all'opera di G. F. Ingrassia sulla peste di Palermo del 1575 si propone di analizzare il rapporto medico paziente di quella epoca, le credenze sulle modalità del contagio della peste, le concezioni di bene e di male, le nuove conoscenze sulla astronomia. Il clima di terrore per la presenza dell'Inquisizione sollecita una riflessione, tutt'ora attuale sui rapporti tra medicina e religione. Ma la presenza del protomedico nella Deputazione della città e il contatto con i governanti ha sollecitato una riflessione su medicina e politica. La peste ha portato tanta paura, la nuova padrona dei tempi attuali per l'esercizio medico. Il saggio si chiude con una riflessione sull'errore medico, sempre presente, ieri come oggi
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
