Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Testo, autore, pubblico. Forme di ricezione dall'antichità alla modernità
No full texta cura di A. Arena, L. Buffatti, S. Caiola, F. Carnazzi, I. Menin, G. Meriani, M. Nimis
Il volume raccoglie i contributi presentati in occasione del secondo convegno dottorale internazionale del Corso di Dottorato in Filologia, letteratura e scienze dello spettacolo dell’Università di Verona (24-26 novembre 2022). Spaziando dal classico al contemporaneo, attraverso molteplici linee di ricerca e approcci metodologici, giovani ricercatrici e ricercatori esplorano il tema della ricezione, mettendone in evidenza forme e modalità a partire da testi letterari, scenici e musicali. I saggi afferiscono a tre aree disciplinari – antichistica, letteratura moderna e contemporanea, scienze dello spettacolo – e, riflettendo anche sulle relazioni tra linguaggi diversi, presentano nuove o rinnovate vie di ricerca attorno ai concetti cardinali di testo, autore e pubblico
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
Recensione a: Scrivere agli altri, scrivere di sé, scrivere per sé. Niccolò Tommaseo e i generi epistolografia, autobiografia, diario. Atti del convegno internazionale di studi (Verona, 14-16 aprile 2021), a cura di Fabio Danelon, Michele Marchesi, Maddalena Rasera, Alessandria, Edizioni dell'Orso, 2021, pp. 240
No full textQuesto nuovo convegno internazionale di studi tira le fila di una serie d’incontri tenutisi in anni passati sul controverso poligrafo ottocentesco, proponendosi di considerare «antiche e nuove linee di ricerca» (p. 7). Gli atti raccolgono, dunque, i risultati cui sono pervenuti studiosi e studiose, che, da diverse angolature, hanno riflettuto sull’eccezionale figura di Niccolò Tommaseo e sulle scritture dell’io/del sé, variamente declinate dall’autore nei suoi scritti
Ricorrenze della solitudine nel «Conciliatore»: la recensione di Silvio Pellico a "Della solitudine secondo i principii di Petrarca e di Zimmermann" di Giovanni Zuccala
No full textLa solitudine: «orribilissima fra le calamità umane» o «possibilità di una voluttuosa dolcezza d’animo»? È a questa domanda che Silvio Pellico cerca di dare risposta, recensendo l’opera di Giovanni Zuccala, "Della solitudine secondo i principii di Petrarca e di Zimmermann" (Milano, Presso Paolo Emilio Giusti, 1818), in un articolo pubblicato domenica 20 settembre 1818, nel n. 6 del «Conciliatore: foglio scientifico-letterario». Tenendo in considerazione che, dopo la «morte» del “foglio azzurro”, i compilatori si sono ritrovati soli, chi in esilio in un paese straniero e chi in una prigione, il contributo intende verificare quante volte il termine ‘solitudine’ è usato nel periodico e in quali contesti. Preso atto che nel «Conciliatore» si trova una rappresentazione convenzionale della solitudine, costituita da τὸποι letterari, l’intervento vuole poi analizzare la recensione di Pellico all’opuscolo di Zuccala, particolare per quanto riguarda struttura, stile e contenuto
