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

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
Galenus Latinus: la traduzione di Burgundio da Pisa del De causis pulsuum. Introduzione, testo critico e indici
Get PDF2018 - 2019La tesi di dottorato consta di cinque capitoli e due appendici, e propone l’edizione critica della
versione latina di Burgundio of Pisa del trattato galenico De causis pulsuum (XII s.). Dopo una
presentazione generale sul testo greco e sull’impatto della scienza galenica del polso in Occidente
nel XII secolo, seguono un breve profilo del traduttore e un’introduzione alla sua versione del De
causis pulsuum, limitata ai soli libri III-IV (commento lemmatico al De pulsibus ad tirones). Vengono
indagati il metodo di traduzione e il rapporto di interdipendenza tra le traduzioni di De causis
pulsuum e De pulsibus ad tirones, per giungere a una proposta di datazione nella cronologia relativa
delle traduzioni burgundiane. Ho poi potuto confermare la dipendenza della traduzione latina dal
testo del ms. Laur. plut. 74.18, la cui descrizione comprende l’analisi delle note di Burgundio e di
“B”, collaboratore dello scriba Ioannikios. A seguire, una breve descrizione dei venticinque
testimoni latini si accompagna all’analisi dei loro rapporti stemmatici e allo stemma codicum.
L’elaborato culmina nell’edizione critica, che si presenta in sinossi con la trascrizione del ms. Laur.
plut. 74.18 (in apparato le varianti relative all’edizione di Kühn). Ci sono inoltre due appendici: la
prima include le differenze tra la traduzione e il testo del manoscritto greco modello e l’apparato
latino esaustivo; la seconda si compone di un census dei testimoni e in un testo di lavoro della
traduzione dell’Ad tirones in sinossi con la trascrizione del manoscritto greco modello, il ms. Laur.
plut. 75.5. La dissertazione si conclude con le corrispondenze greco-latine e latino-greche di De
causis pulsuum e De pulsibus ad tirones. [a cura dell'Autore]This dissertation consists of five chapters and two appendices and provides the critical edition of the Latin version of Galen’s treatise De causis pulsuum by Burgundio of Pisa (XII c.). After a general overview on the Greek text and on the impact of the galenic science of pulse in the West during the XII c., it follows the translator’s profile and an introduction to his version, limited just to the books III-IV (lemmatique commentary about the De pulsibus ad tirones). A reflection on the translator’s method and on the links of interdependence between his versions of De causis and Ad tirones leads to a dating proposal into the relative chronology of his work. Then, I was able to confirm the dependence of the Latin version from the Greek text of the ms. Laur. plut. 74.18, whose description is enriched with the analysis of the notes by Burgundio and “B”, colleague of the scribe Ioannikios. Thereafter, it comes a brief description of the twenty-five Latin witnesses and the analysis of the stemma of the manuscript tradition. The dissertation culminates in the critic edition, in which the Latin text is in synopsis with the transcription of the ms. Laur. plut. 74.18 (in apparatus the variants relative to Kühn’s edition). There are also two appendices: the first includes the differences between the translation and the Greek exemplar and the exhaustive apparatus of the Latin text; the second provides a census of the witnesses and a working text of the translation of the Ad tirones in synopsis with the transcription of the Greek exemplar, the ms. Laur. plut. 75.5. The dissertation ends with Greek-Latin and Latin-Greek correspondances of the De causis pulsuum and the De pulsibus ad tirones. [edited by Author]XXXII cicl

Get PDFDispelling 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
«Unum quoddam corpus nova facie formatum»: Caspar Wolf e la composizione dell’Harmonia Gynaeciorum
No full textIn 1566 the humanist physician Caspar Wolf edited the Gynaeciorum libri, a selection of late antique, medieval and contemporary texts of gynaecology in two volumes. This paper provides the first examination of the method he adopted in composing the Harmonia gynaeciorum, the first section of the work, that is a compendium of late antique and early medieval texts of gynaecology. It also aims to identify all the sources of the Harmonia and the manuscripts from which Wolf depends, which appear to be similar to the mss.
