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
Hystorical development and future evolution of the Po Delta Park coastal areas (Italy) as a response to the predicted sea-level rise.
No full textThe Po Delta Park coastal area is a highly dynamic and peculiar environment with an important naturalistic value, mostly represented by wetlands, lagoons and marshes. Short-medium term climate change has played an important role in shaping this environment in the last millennies years. However, in the last few centuries, human impact has also been fundamental in driving the evolution of this area. Anthropic influence is accelerating the already unstable vulnerability of these environments, increasing the risks connected to their endurance. Considering the foreseeable climate change, the forecasted sea level rise will constitute a primary element of modification for this territory. Only an Integrated Coastal Zone Management will help managers to perform an adequate planning and make wiser choices
High resolution integrated study of microfossil assemblages in Sapropel S1, S3 and S5: preliminary results
Full text linkThe Eastern Mediterranean late Neogene to Quaternary sedimentary record is characterized by the widespread and distinctly periodical occurrence of organic carbon-rich layers, called sapropels. The deposition of sapropels is related to significant changes in climate, in the pattern of water circulation and in the biogeochemical cycles. The primary cause triggering the formation of sapropels has been debated ever since their discovery: productivity in the surface waters and organic matter preservation at the sea-floor due to hypoxia or anoxia have been indicated as the two major contributing factors operating either separately or combined. Moreover, each sapropel seems to have its own peculiar feature, likely attributed to the different climate forcing and the different response of productivity and preservation to the water column parameters. Here we present preliminary data from core M25/4 12, located in the Ionian Sea, containing a continuous record of the sapropels deposited in the last 330 ka (S1 to S10, excluding S2). We analysed the microfossil assemblages in sapropels S1 (10 ka BP), S3 (80 ka BP) and S5 (125 ka BP) at a multi-centennial time resolution to get insights into the climatic and oceanographical features leading to their deposition and the role of productivity and preservation
