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
Novità dall’area urbana di Veio. Recenti indagini nel distretto meridionale
No full textNovità sulla campagna di scavo 2019 a Veio-Piano di ComunitàThe paper aims to present the various activities carried out at the Etruscan city of Veii by the équipe of Etruscology and Archaeology of pre-Roman Italy of the Dipartimento di Scienze dell’Antichità of the Sapienza University of Rome. In particular, it provides an updated picture of the 2018-2019 research campaigns. In total, four sectors were investigated during these campaigns (the so-called Edificio Lanciani, and sectors 19, 25, and 26).
In the Edificio Lanciani two rooms (E-Q) related to the large villa (4000 mq) built in the late Republican period were excavated. The most relevant outcome of this work can be considered the discovery of walls
with a different orientation, suggesting the presence of pre-existing buildings which were part of a different settlement fabric.
In sector 19 part of the urban water supply system was brought to light. In particular, a large tank in which a tripartite structure in tufa blocks was built in the Middle Republican period, and a cuniculus equipped with an inspection pit were partially investigated.
In the closely interconnected sectors 25 and 26, the excavation focused, on the one hand on the large (about 4 m wide) EW road that connects the edge of the plateau with the main arterial road that crosses it, and on the other hand on the investigation of a massive group of thick layers, which indirectly testifies to the presence of an extremely consistent pottery production (especially bucchero and Etruscan Corinthian wares).
In sector 26 the recovered sherds of architectural terracotta fortify the hypothesis of the presence in the area since at least the Archaic period of a sacred context, whose location must however still be identified, while in sector 25 the several thousand misfired bucchero sherds, an extremely interesting test for a decoration in the form of a gorgoneion, alongside an impressive quantity of kiln tools, fully confirm the presence of a production area at Piano di Comunità at least from the late 7th c. BC.
The final part of the paper describes the didactic activity and the past and future dissemination paths related to the archaeological mission, and in particular an exhibition at the Museum of Etruscan and Italic Antiquities of the Sapienza University of Rome and the project Veio: lost city. Conservazione, valorizzazione e fruizione del sito archeologico etrusco in collaboration with the Department of Architecture and Project
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
