    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Poesia e racconto nell'arte rupestre camuna dell'età del ferro. Una proposta di lettura filologica: la roccia 12 di Seradina I

    Le incisioni rupestri della Valle Camonica sono fra le più note produzioni culturali dell’Europa antica: conosciute e studiate da oltre un secolo, primo sito UNESCO riconosciuto in Italia, la bibliografia prodotta su di esse è ormai vastissima. Partendo da alcuni dei più recenti risultati di questa tradizione di lavori, in primo luogo dall’edizione della roccia 12 di Seradina I, un complesso affacciato sul fiume Oglio all’altezza di Cemmo risalente alla tarda età del ferro (tra la fine del VII secolo e l’inizio del V a.C.), si tenterà di proporre una «lettura filologica» dell’arte rupestre di quel periodo.Questo studio è dedicato a Elena, Giovanni, Manuel e Pietro, cacciatori di draghi: possano catturare un futuro radioso

    Variations on the Author

    “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 link
    We 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

    Archivi di notai come oggetto politico nelle Alpi dell’età moderna: La comunità di Valle Camonica

    No full text
    Notarial archives in the early-modern Alpine region were managed according to an extreme variety of styles. This paper presents the case of a community of the central Italian Alps, set at the north-western borders of the Republic of Venice. Focusing on the local response to a law promulgated by the venetian Senate in 1612, notarial archives and their preservation become, in an “institutional perspective”, a political weapon in defending local autonomies against the centripetal force exercised by urban cities.Gli archivi notarili nella regione alpina dell’età Moderna sono stati gestiti secondo un’ampia varietà di stili. Questo articolo presenta il caso di una comunità delle Alpi centrali italiane, collocata ai confini nord-occidentali della Repubblica di Venezia. Incentrandosi sulla reazione locale alla legge promulgata dal Senato veneziano nel 1612, gli archivi notarili e la loro preservazione diventano, in una “prospettiva istituzionale”, un’arma politica in difesa delle autonomie locali contro la forza centripeta esercitata dalle città urbane
