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
Genèse et genres de la poésie politique alfierienne. Édition et étude critique de l’«Etruria vendicata» et de l’«America Libera»
No full textLa thèse examine l’"Etruria vendicata" et l’"America Libera", deux œuvres alfieriennes en vers sur des sujets politiques. L'objectif principal du travail est de fournir de nouvelles éditions critiques pour les deux textes et d'offrir des éléments originaux pour leur interprétation. Le premier chapitre, qui sert à la fois d'introduction et de résumé des résultats critiques de l'étude, rassemble l'enquête historico-littéraire des deux œuvres et un examen approfondi de leur relation avec le contexte culturel et politique de l'époque, à partir de la proposition particulière de réforme des genres littéraires dans une clé civile avancée par Alfieri dans son traité "Del Principe e delle lettere". Les chapitres suivants illustrent de manière analytique l'ensemble du dossier génétique de l'"Etruria vendicata" et de l'"America libera", en retraçant leur itinéraire de composition à travers l'examen des témoins manuscrits et imprimés qui attestent les différentes phases de leur élaboration. Après un exposé des critères d'édition, les textes critiques des deux œuvres sont ensuite fournis, accompagnés des appareils et des appendices correspondants.The research examines "Etruria vendicata" and "America Libera", two alfierian works in verse on political subjects. The main aim of the study is to provide new critical editions for the two texts and offer original elements for their interpretation. The first chapter, which serves as both introduction and synthesis of the critical results of the research, brings together the literary-historical investigation of the two works and an in-depth examination of their relationship to the cultural and political context of the time, read from the peculiar proposal for the reform of literary genres in a civil key advanced by Alfieri in his "Del Principe e delle lettere". The following chapters analytically illustrate the entire genetic dossier of "Etruria vendicata" and "America Libera", retracing their compositional iter through an examination of the manuscript and printed copy that attest to the different phases of their elaboration. After an exposition of the edition criteria, the critical texts of the two works are then provided, accompanied by the related apparatuses and appendices
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
Per un repertorio degli strumenti dell’italianistica digitale
Full text linkThe progressive expansion of Digital Humanities and the rapid increase of digital projects dedicated to the study of Italian literature makes the creation of virtual collectors more necessary than ever. These collectors may bring together these resources and facilitate their availability and access. A first repertory of digital tools for Italian studies is presented in this essay and is proposed as a research tool for any type of user. This overall mapping of the network also makes possible to obtain an overview of current trends and to set out some reflections on the critical aspects of the current scenario of Digital Humanities and some possible proposals.L’espansione progressiva delle Digital Humanities e il rapido aumento dei progetti digitali dedicati allo studio della letteratura italiana rende quanto mai necessaria la creazione di collettori virtuali che riuniscano tali risorse e ne facilitino la reperibilità e l’accesso. Viene qui presentato un primo repertorio di strumenti digitali per l’italianistica che si propone a sua volta come strumento di ricerca per qualsiasi tipologia di utente. Tale mappatura complessiva della rete consente inoltre di ottenere una panoramica delle tendenze in atto ed impostare alcune riflessioni sulle criticità dell’attuale scenario dell’umanistica digitale e alcune possibili proposte
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
