Beyond the Individual: Renaissance Dalmatia’s Intellectuals as a Socio-Functional Group
Get PDFRad nudi uvide u intelektualne elite Dalmacije fokusirajući se na (1) individualna iskustva kako bi se preko njih stiglo do zapažanja o (2) općim trendovima njihova ponašanja kao socioekonomske skupine. I dok ona uključuje poznate pojedince poput Brne Karnarutića, Federika Grisogona i Šime Budinića, autor smatra da treba uključiti i njihove manje istaknute susjede kako bi se postiglo potpunije razumijevanje njihovih aktivnosti po cijelome mletačkom Jadranu, a ponekad i izvan njega, pri čemu se dolazi do novih uvida u privatne živote dalmatinskih intelektualaca, uključujući i njihove međuosobne i prostorne veze. Novi uvidi u istraživačko područje kojim dominiraju gradske elite renesansne Dalmacije stečeni su na osnovi istraživanja primarnih izvora koji se čuvaju u Državnom arhivu u Zadru te počivaju na širenju istraživačkog opsega i uključivanju razlikovnih elemenata kao što su klasa, obrazovanje i spol kako bi se identificirali obrasci ponašanja.This essay offers insights into Renaissance Dalmatia’s intellectual elites by focusing, first, on individual experiences to derive, second, general trends about their socio-economic group behaviour. While these include known individuals like Brne Karnarutić, Federik Grisogono, and Šime Budinić, the author argues that we should also include their less-prominent neighbours to arrive at a fuller understanding of their activities throughout, and in some cases beyond, the Venetian Adriatic, thereby revealing new insights into the private lives of Dalmatia’s intellectuals, including interpersonal and spatial ties. Based on original research of primary sources preserved in the Croatian State Archives in Zadar, new insights into a field of research dominated by Renaissance Dalmatia’s urban elites are gained by widening the scope of enquiry and by including differentiations such as class, education, and gender to identify behavioural patterns
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
Conflict, Coexistence and Cooperation in Venetian Zadar (16th century)
Get PDFThis study investigates encounters in the early modern Adriatic, in particular focusing on the Venetian possessions. The predominantly Catholic Dalmatian cities were incorporated into the Venetian maritime state around the turn of the fifteenth century and were home to small but bustling communities of merchants, companies of sailors, and soldiers. During the sixteenth century, Dalmatia was both the frontline of Catholicism and a valuable turnover hub for goods, ideas, and people. As the Ottomans continued their advance, life within the crammed fortifications, threatened by bandits, disease, and pirates was tenuous at times. Despite these conditions, cooperation across the many fault lines dividing early modern Europe never ceased. The study uses a microhistorical approach to source material from the rich Croatian State Archive in Zadar and presents selected examples of cooperation, the bending of norms, and everyday life.</jats:p

Get PDFConflict, Coexistence and Cooperation in Venetian Zadar (16th century)
Get PDFRad istražuje sukobe na Jadranu u ranome novom vijeku, s osobitim obzirom na mletačke posjede. Dominantno katolički dalmatinski gradovi ušli su u sastav mletačkoga pomorskog posjeda otprilike na prijelazu u 15. stoljeće i bili su dom malih, ali prosperitetnih zajednica trgovaca, pomorskih udruženja i vojnika. Tijekom 16. stoljeća Dalmacija je bila kako prva crta obrane katoličanstva tako i vrijedno čvorište dobara, ideja i ljudi. Kako su Turci napredovali, život unutar prenapučenih zidina, uz opasnost od razbojnika, bolesti i pirata, povremeno je slabio. Unatoč tim okolnostima, suradnja – preko mnogih granica koje su dijelile Europu u ranome novom vijeku – nikad nije prestala. Studija se koristi mikrohistorijskim pristupom izvornoj građi iz bogatoga Državnog arhiva Zadru i prikazuje odabrane primjere suradnje, prilagođavanja pravila i svakodnevnog života.This study investigates encounters in the early modern Adriatic, in particular focusing on the Venetian possessions.

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
