Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Kidnapping for ransom - judgment 17282-2023-00448.
No full textEl Secuestro Extorsivo en Ecuador presenta un panorama alarmante en lo que va del año. Este delito, que implica, retener a una persona, en contra de su voluntad, con el fin de obtener un beneficio generalmente económico, ha experimentado un aumento significativo en nuestro país, causando sobresalto en la población y generando preocupación por parte de las autoridades. El modus operandi solía ser de manera organizada y al seleccionar cuidadosamente a sus víctimas, estas generalmente poseían solvencia económica, las interceptan en lugares públicos o privados. Una vez secuestradas, las mantienen en cautiverio y las someten a presión psicológica y física para obligar a sus familiares a pagar un rescate. Sin embargo, en los últimos años se ha observado que los delincuentes seleccionan a sus víctimas de manera indiscriminada con el objetivo de sustraerles sus pertenencias y posteriormente extorsionarlos. En este análisis, se aborda al Secuestro Extorsivo desde la doctrina y consecuentemente la aplicación en la normativa ecuatoriana, además se describe al tipo penal y sus elementos usando los conceptos dogmáticos y legales aplicados en la sentencia N.º 17282-2023-00448, con estas aristas se realiza un estudio aplicando la teoría del delito, para determinar con la doctrina y lo establecido por el Código Orgánico Integral Penal, la responsabilidad y grado de participación de los imputados; Así como la sentencia dictada por el Tribunal de Garantías Penales de Pichincha.Kidnapping for Extortion in Ecuador has been a growing issue this year. This crime, which involves holding a person against their will to obtain a general economic benefit, has significantly increased in our country, shocking the population and causing concern among authorities. Previously, kidnappers used to carefully select well-off individuals and intercept them in public or private places. They would then hold the victim captive and psychologically and physically subjected, forcing their families to pay a ransom. However, criminals are now targeting victims indiscriminately to steal their belongings and then extort them. This analysis addresses kidnapping for extortion from the doctrine and the application of Ecuadorian legislation, describing the criminal type and its elements using the dogmatic and legal concepts applied in sentence 17282-2023-00448. The study applies the theory of crime to determine, with the doctrine and the provisions of the Integral Organic Criminal Code, the responsibility and degree of participation of the offenders, as well as the sentence issued by Tribunal de Garantías Penales de Pichincha.PregradoAbogado(a

in detail a case of extortionate kidnapping that occurred in Quito on September 13, 2021,
where a minor was abducted by two individuals in order to extort money from her father.
The criminal process is analyzed from the apprehension, flagrancy hearing, investigation, and
trial, highlighting the criminal conduct as typified by Article 162 of the COIP
(Commonwealth of Criminal Procedure). It includes the national and international regulatory
framework, doctrines on kidnapping and extortion, and an analysis of the participation of
perpetrators and accomplices. Aggravating factors such as the victim's age and multiple
participation are discussed, as well as the motivation for the sentence in accordance with
constitutional standards. Finally, the defense arguments and the elements that led to the 17
year and 4-month prison sentence for those responsible are discussedPregradoAbogado(a
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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

Several legal issues were identified, focusing on the elements of the criminal nature, authorship, and comprehensive reparation to the victim, which served as a guide for the execution of this research. In addition, the judicial process was thoroughly examined to ensure that all stages and phases complied with the established legal requirements and that the principles of the process were respected. The methodology used in this study was comprehensive, combining documentary, descriptive, and explanatory approaches. A careful review of the doctrine and jurisprudence provided a solid basis for assessing the fairness of the sentence imposed. The criteria used by the court were analyzed to determine whether the elements of the offense were correctly applied and whether the trial followed the relevant legal standards. The analysis confirmed that the sentence not only correctly dealt with the elements of the crime, but also guaranteed respect for the process at all stages of the criminal proceedings. The paper concludes that the court’s sentence correctly identified and interpreted the legal norms, and statutory and constitutional principles applied to the specific case, and correctly imposed the legal consequence (sentence) contained in the norm.PregradoAbogado(a
