    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

    Tematiche dell\u27arbitrismo politico e articolazione dello spazio del potere nella Spagna del despotismo illuminato

    Secondo una versione, che si è venuta col tempo quasi cristallizzando nella storiografia sul Settecento, nella Spagna delle riforme non si registrerebbe la presenza di un pensiero político alternativo a quello che, in fondo, serve da appoggio alla politica del dispotismo illuminato messa in atto dalla nuova dinastia borbonica. Si ha come l\u27impressione che la chiusura del conflitto successorio abbia come collocata una pietra tombale su quella tradizione di pensiero político che si era venuta costruendo durante il lungo periodo asburgico. E\u27 vero che i pochi intellettuali filo austriaci, sopravvissuti al terrible sconvolgimento della guerra civile, o abbandonarono i vecchi panni e tennero nascosto il loro pensiero, non per villà ma per una serie di considerazioni determinate da molteplici fattori che non è qui mia intenzione esaminare, ma che questo concluda ad una lotale scomparsa di questo pensiero nella realtà della Spagna settecentesca, come sembrerrebbe leggendo le opere dedicate a questo periodo, è ancora tutto da verificare

    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

    Se hace un repaso de la situación de la educación en los Estados italianos durante el siglo XVIII, con el fin de comprender los esfuerzos realizados por los intelectuales y por las fuerzas políticas ilustradas para reorganizar el sector de la enseñanza. Se destaca la profunda decadencia de la educación universitaria a finales del siglo XVII. El profesor universitario pierde su independencia intelectual y traslada sus intereses profesionales fuera del círculo de la universidad. En el presupuesto de los distintos Estados italianos, la parte destinada a la educación era mínima, y en momentos de crisis se despedían profesores y se cerraban centros docentes. A finales del siglo XVII, la universidad italiana era de tipo regional, con un nivel cultural más bajo, que se transforma en una auténtica escuela de Estado. Así, la historia de la educación en la época de la Ilustración se presenta como una cuestión social, política y económica.Biblioteca de Educación del Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte; Calle San Agustín, 5 - 3 Planta; 28014 Madrid; Tel. +34917748000; [email protected]

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    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
