Tecnocrazia pubblica e classi dirigenti nello sviluppo economico italiano (1964-1991)
No full textHow much the policy of contractualizazion of the public servant valorised the ministerial employers, the public company clerks and the contractualized public servant? How much after the first crisis of the mix economy model of the sixties this affect the strengthen of the public technocracy that once upon a time was strategic for the development of the country? Is it possible to read those policy as a clue for the disinvestment of the republican government in a part of the public management among hautes fonctions and an administrative class? The objective of this explorative paper is to reconstruct and identify the consequences of the administrative choices on the economic growth of the country, especially focusing on the public company bureaucracy. It is clear that, as already said by De Cecco in the late eighties, the choice of renounce to a technocratic elite in favour of a partitocratic bureaucratic leadership has had consequences in terms of administrative efficiency. Looking at the stocks of ministerial employers of the generic bureaucracy and of the public company clerks we can divide the history in three periods: 1963-1973 with the centre-left government; 1973-1980 with the consequences of the regionalization and 1980-1991, with the end of the first republic. The ministerial employer grow in the period, breaking a relationship both with the population and the gdp. It is a growth that has no reasons to be, and that can be explained just with a political cartelization of the system
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
Il sistema politico-giudiziario in Italia, dall'Unità all'integrazione europea
No full textLa ricerca affronta il tema dell'organizzazione della giustizia e dei rapporti tra governo e magistratura in Italia, dall'unificazione del paese e fondazione dello Stato fino alla prima crisi del sistema costituzionale repubblicano. Nello specifico il lavoro affronta, sula piano storico-istituzionale e politologico, le tematiche dell'autonomia e indipendenza della magistratura, la questione dello status e del reclutamento, i rapporti tra politica della giustizia e domanda sociale di diritti, i rapporti costituzionali tra poteri e i conflitti tra politica e magistratura
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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
