    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

    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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    Speculation and Security: The Financial World in Trieste in the Early Years of the Twentieth Century

    The years coinciding with the publication of Vincenz Bronzin’s main work, witch appeared in 1908, represent for Trieste a time of fast-paced and intense economic and social development, that put this Adriatic town, before the first World War, on the international map as great industrial, port and financial centre. More and more integrated in the economy of the Habsburg Empire, Trieste’s financial landscape is still dominated by the merchant families that were the historical protagonists of the growding trading wealth between the 18th and 19th century. They have control of the Stock Exchange, the evolution of the powerfull institution created in 1755 to regulate market exchanges and wich has followed the decline of this trading centre, now turned into a port of transit. In spite of the limited number of listed companies and monetary exchanges, the Stock Exchanges Commitee, trought its regulations, puts in place a strong self-management and self-regulating system, it issues strict surveillance provisions, and performs a screening function to shape the trading system, overseeing ang defending it from the assaults of unrestreined speculation. The decline of the Stock Exchange is accompanied by the rise of insurance companies. Established in the first half of the 19th century, in the early 20th century Assicurazioni Generali e Riunione Adriatica di Sicurtà were the main insurance conpanies of the Habsburg Empire, ready to conquer also the markets of Europe and Far Earst. They were still in the hands of Trieste’s great historical merchant families, who made up the most relevant and influential group of stakeholders. These were business enterprises aimed to collect private savings, with the need to set aside significant reserves to face unexpected risks, wich leads the management to opt for investments that offer lower returns but greater security, mainly consisting in government stock and also in real estate. Thus speculation and security coexist in a unique balance in Trieste’s financial world
