The potential of contractual assurances to advance supply chain due diligence
Get PDFOn February 23, 2022, the European Commission’s adopted a proposal for a Directive on corporate
sustainability due diligence. The proposed Directive requires companies to make their supply chains
sustainable by obtaining contractual assurances from their suppliers. Noncompliance is met with
administrative sanctions and civil liability. In this contribution, we question the ability of contractual
assurances to sufficiently influence business conduct in the supply chain. Imposing sanctions and
civil liability do not resolve the difficulties that may, in practice, impede the control of supply chains
through contracts. Therefore, based on recent empirical research and existing general conditions
used by twelve multinational companies, we offer recommendations that can help companies manage
their supply chains contractually and thus contribute to the effectiveness of the proposed Directive
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
