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
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
Strafverfahrensaktenanalysen zum dschihadistischen Terrorismus
No full textDie vorliegende Untersuchung liefert einen Überblick zur Praxis des Terrorismusstrafrechts in Deutschland auf Grundlage einer Aktenanalyse von Strafverfahrensakten. Der Beitrag konzentriert sich auf Fälle des Dschihadismus als dem Phänomenbereich, der in dem bisher verfügbaren Material des Forschungsvorhabens im Vordergrund stand. Es handelt sich überwiegend um Verurteilungen wegen Bildung oder Unterstützung terroristischer Vereinigungen (§ 129a StGB), während auf Einzeltäter*innen zugeschnittene Delikte wie die Vorbereitung einer schweren staatsgefährdenden Gewalttat weniger häufig verzeichnet sind. Soweit die Verfahren nicht eingestellt wurden oder mit einem Freispruch endeten, wurden von den Gerichten typischerweise Freiheitsstrafen verhängt.The present study provides an overview of the practice of terrorism offences in Germany based on an analysis of criminal case files. The article concentrates on cases of jihadism as the phenomenon that has taken centre stage in the material available for the research project to date. These cases predominantly involve convictions for forming or supporting terrorist organisations (Section 129a of the German Criminal Code), while offences tailored to individual perpetrators such as the preparation of a serious act of violence endangering the state are recorded less frequently. Insofar as the proceedings were not discontinued or ended in an acquittal, the courts typically imposed custodial sentences. Translated with DeepL.com (free version
Eine Einzelfallanalyse zu den Motiven jihadistischer Tathandlungen
No full textIn diesem Beitrag wird anhand eines ausgewählten Falls eine qualitative Einzelfallanalyse durchgeführt, bei der die Beweggründe hinter den strafrechtlich relevanten Tathandlungen rekonstruiert werden. Grundlage der Analyse bildet die Akte eines Strafverfahrens, das zu einer Verurteilung wegen Mitgliedschaft in einer terroristischen Vereinigung im Ausland geführt hat. In der Analyse kann eine Vielzahl von Motiven herausgearbeitet werden.This article uses a case selected from a broader sample of files of terrorism-related criminal procedures in Germany to conduct a qualitative analysis in order to reconstruct motives behind the criminal offences involved. The offender was convicted for membership of a terrorist organisation abroad. This analysis can isolate a variety of motives mentioned in the documents produced by the criminal legal system

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
