Digital Transformations in Public International Law
Get PDFSovereignty, security, rights, participation: these four macro-issues have been deeply affected by the impact of digital technologies on the inner infrastructures of public international law. But what role does international law play for the internet? And how have the internet and the platforms, rogue actors, cyber weapons, and multistakeholder approaches to law-making influenced international law? This book examines the reciprocal influences between digital technologies and public international law and contributes to further debunk the persisting myth of the internet as an unregulated space. By these means, it current and future fields of inquiry emerging from the interface between public international law and digital technologies which will become even more relevant in the future. With contributions by Angelo Jr Golia, Matthias Kettemann, Raffaela Kunz, Pia Hüsch, Edoardo Celeste, Uchenna Jerome Orji, Alena Douhan, Stefanie Schmahl, Rossella Pulvirenti, Adam Krzywoń, Katharina Luckner and Vera Strobel.Souveränität, Sicherheit, Rechte, Partizipation: Diese vier Makro-Themen sind durch die Auswirkungen der digitalen Technologien auf die Struktur des Völkerrechts stark betroffen. Aber welche Rolle spielt das Völkerrecht für das Internet? Und wie haben das Internet und die Plattformen, Cyberwaffen und Multistakeholder-Ansätze zur Rechtsetzung das Völkerrecht beeinflusst? Dieses Buch untersucht die wechselseitigen Einflüsse zwischen digitalen Technologien und Völkerrecht und trägt dazu bei, den hartnäckigen Mythos vom Internet als unreguliertem Raum zu entkräften. Auf diese Weise zeigt es aktuelle und zukünftige Forschungsfelder auf, die an der Schnittstelle zwischen Völkerrecht und digitalen Technologien entstehen und in Zukunft noch an Bedeutung gewinnen werden.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Taxing Data as an Instrument of Economic Digital Constitutionalism: Elements for a Normative Agenda
Get PDFDigital constitutionalism rarely focuses on value creation, extraction, and distribution. Using data taxation as an entry point, this article introduces a symposium that contributes to filling this gap and sketches the elements of a normative agenda. The contributions to the symposium advance different proposals, but they share the view that the externalities of informational capitalism have constitutional significance. Based on this view, this introduction shows the interconnectedness of four distinct issues: 1) the impact of excessive datafication on modern societies; 2) the role of data in contemporary economy; 3) the design of taxes; 4) the interaction of data taxation with other legal regimes and social justice issues, also at the global level. The first goal is to increase the dialogue among strands of legal scholarship that do not necessarily speak the same language. The second goal is to expand the analytical and normative scope of digital constitutionalism which—the articles concludes—cannot address such issues as accidental elements but needs to be (also) an economic constitutionalism. The article proceeds as follows. After the introduction, section 2 focuses on the link between the digital revolution and constitutional states, especially on their role in value creation, extraction, and distribution. Section 3 identifies such an issue as a gap in digital constitutionalism and opens the way to the following sections. Section 4 is divided into four subsections. Subsection 4.1 stresses the need for critical approaches to datafication, which needs to be seen as an autonomous object of regulation. Subsection 4.2 highlights the role of data within the data economy and offers normative justifications for its taxation. Subsection 4.3 highlights the need to include Pigouvian, progressive, and rent-targeting elements into concrete data tax design. Section 4.4 puts these issues within the context of (global) economic governance, highlighting the role of political institutions in creating, extracting, and distributing value and the political nature of the underlying policy choices. Section 5 concludes
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
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
