A endogamia em redes mercantis da «Primeira Idade Global». O caso da rede de Simon Ruiz (1553-1597)
Get PDFIn historiographic narratives, Early Modern trading networks are claimed to promote endogamic strategies for selecting business agents in distant places, as well as for matrimonial and economic partnerships. Focusing on Simon Ruiz trading and financial company (1558-1597) as a case study, this paper questions this theoretical assumption of Early Modern historiography. Through network analysis, it shows the limited degree to which endogamy based on kinship, confessional compatibility, and on a common geographic provenience functioned as a way to entangle and strengthen trade and finance and as a strategy for network expansion and increasing business profits. The selected data sources for this purpose were the documents produced by Simon Ruiz and his company, namely bills of exchange and commercial correspondence
Resilience in times of Early Modern financial crises: the case study of Simon Ruiz network, 1553-1606
No full text<p>In Spanish second half of the 16th century, a merchant called Simon Ruiz had built a network of business partners which allowed him to be one of the wealthiest merchants in the Iberia Peninsula. The Spanish Empire maintained military conflicts with almost all Europe, which further contributed to the insolvency of the Spanish Crown, resulting in three different bankruptcies (1557, 1575 and 1596) and several constraints in financial and commercial activity. In such troubled periods, trust in credit affairs was at stake and directly interfered with the liquidity of commercial firms. Hence, it is no surprise that several companies in Europe, defaulted.</p>
<p>In this conjuncture, Simon Ruiz’s company and business network has not collapsed, maintaining its activity for 53 years. How and why did this business network resist to such contrarieties? In this paper, it is argued how the resilience of the network was fostered in two distinct, but complementary approaches: on one hand, the business strategies Ruiz used to face different economic conjunctures; on the other hand, the structural characteristics of the network, using variables of mathematical network analysis. Which strategies could prevent an Early Modern business company from collapse in an adverse economic scenario? We believe network analysis can contribute for the answer. To approach these questions, we will support our analysis on the bills of exchange and the commercial correspondence of Simon Ruiz private archive.</p
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
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
