CAI and EU-China Legal and Judicial Cooperation:EUPLANT Final Report
No full textThe Jean Monnet Network ‘EU-China Legal and Judicial Cooperation’(EUPLANT) investigates the interactions between the Chinese and the EuropeanUnion (EU) legal and judicial systems and promotes excellence in teachingand research on EU-China legal and judicial cooperation. Through a set of research, policy and outreach activities, EUPLANT creates new avenues for enhanced academic and policy cooperation between the EU and China and engenders a better understanding of each other’s legal systems. In this report, academic experts from the networkand beyond look into some of the key overarching themes of the network relating to the prospects and challenges for the internationalisation of EU law in EU-China relations as well as EU-China judicial cooperation. It includes a set of policy recommendations targeting policy makers and other stakeholders that have an interest in the deepeningof EU-China legal and judicial cooperation

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
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
Chinese visies op de internationale rechtsstaat : de oorsprong, impact van en vooruitzichten op het ontstaan van een consensus over de rechtsstaat op internationaal niveau.
No full textThis PhD dissertation focuses on the Chinese contribution to the rule of law and the international rule of law. While the rule of law principle finds its origins in European legal traditions – one often relates it to the mainstream traditions of the English Rule of Law, German Rechtsstaat, and French Etat de Droit - it has now become a principle at the very heart of many constitutions all over the world. China here is no exception and has notably raised the ‘Socialist Rule of Law with Chinese Characteristics’ as a major driver of its economic, political, social and legal reforms. The rule of law acted, in this vein, as the main theme of the Fourth Plenum of the 18th Party Congress in 2014. In this context, the rule of law appears therefore as a useful ‘benchmark’ against which to assess the evolution of the Chinese legal system.
At the international level, the rule of law has also increasingly gained an important status across all fields of global governance from international development, international trade to international security. The best testimony of the growing importance awarded to the rule of law and the international rule of law relates to the recent adoption by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) of the 2012 High Level Declaration on the Rule of Law at the National and International Levels. Through its membership in the main international organisations, China influences the development of the international rule of law. As a Permanent Member (P5) of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and the second largest world economy, China has a particular impact on the development of the international rule of law in the fields of international security and international trade. In this vein, this dissertation will focus more specifically on Chinese perspectives on the international rule of law in the fields of international trade and international security.
The purpose of this dissertation is fourfold: to analyse the essence of the rule of law and its relationship with the international rule of law (1); to explain the origins, characteristics, and prospects for the development of the ‘Socialist Rule of Law with Chinese Characteristics’ (2); to analyse the Chinese perspectives on the international rule of law in the fields of international trade and international security (3); and to analyse the prospects for the emergence of a consensus on the rule of law and the international rule of law given China’s own understanding of the concepts (4).
Supplementary Theses
1. People-to-People exchanges between China and Japan should be enhanced with the purpose to strengthen critical historical consciousness in North-East Asia.
2. In a time in which Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) have become crucial for European economic growth, it is necessary for the EU to create an EU-based agency that would be recognised as having the competence to provide non-binding advice on FDI. The assessment provided should be based on the strategic, economic and social impacts of the investment.status: Publishe
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
