CO-CREAZIONE E RESPONSABILITÀ NELL’INNOVAZIONE TECNOSCIENTIFICA DAL BASSO
No full textAl giorno d’oggi l’innovazione scientifica e tecnologica è sempre più spesso caratterizzata dalla partecipazione di associazioni e gruppi della società civile. I cittadini sono sempre più consapevoli e attivi nello scrutinio pubblico della scienza e della tecnologia, esigendo un elevato livello di trasparenza e un coinvolgimento effettivo nei progetti di innovazione volti ad offrire soluzioni a questioni di rilievo per la vita collettiva. Come è possibile studiare la partecipazione pubblica nell’ambito della scienza e della tecnologia con la finalità di rendere l’innovazione coerente con i bisogni e le richieste della società, e non solo con la domanda di mercato? A partire da questo interrogativo e avvalendosi di studi di caso riferiti ai processi partecipativi nei campi della medicina, delle tecnologie digitali e della sostenibilità ambientale, questo libro mette in luce come i cittadini possano offrire un contributo determinante per rendere l’innovazione tecnoscientifica socialmente ed eticamente desiderabile e sostenibile

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
Interesting Worlds to Come. Science & Technology Studies Facing More-than-Human Challenges
Full text linkThis editorial by the board of STS Italia (The Italian Society for Social Studies of Science and Technology) introduces a Special Section of the Journal collecting a set of contributions to the IX STS Italia Conference, held in June 2023. The Special Section features an invited Lecture by Huub Dijstelbloem followed by a short commentary by Annalisa Pelizza. In addition, the Section includes the Crossing Boundaries “Drawing Bruno Together” and the Scenario “Bruno Latour and Artificial Intelligence” dedicated to Bruno Latour and both written by long-term colleagues, friends and exegetes of his work
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
