Qualification of author's contracts
No full textLa qualification du contrat au regard du droit d’auteur met en exergue un renversement de la logique présidant habituellement à la construction des catégories contractuelles : les divers contrats nommés et, au-delà, tous les contrats d’auteur, sont moins définis par égard à leurs effets, à savoir le transfert de droit et les obligations qui en sont la contrepartie, que par référence à leur environnement. En effet, alors que l’effet translatif est commun à tout contrat d’auteur, sa qualification dépend avant tout de son environnement « matériel », c’est-à-dire du type d’oeuvre de l’esprit ou de droit d’exploitation visés au contrat, ou de son environnement humain, c’est-à-dire la qualité des parties, notamment celle d’auteur. À l’inverse de la qualification du contrat au regard du droit d’auteur, celle du contrat d’auteur au regard du droit civil dépend plus de ses effets que de son environnement, ce qui s’avère logique dès lors que les catégories contractuelles du code civil ne sont pas définies en fonction de ce dernier. Dès lors que la nature du droit d’auteur ne constitue pas un obstacle aux qualifications civiles, les effets du contrat constituent les seuls critères de distinction opératoires. Lorsque l’obligation d’exploiter ne peut être réduite à une obligation accessoire, la qualification de vente ne peut qu’être évincée. Les modalités de la maîtrise de l’exploitation font alors apparaître que les contrats d’édition, de représentation et de production audiovisuelle sont en réalité, le plus souvent, des contrats de bail.Characterization of contracts in view of French Authors’ Rights Law brings out a reversal of the logic usually governing the construction of contractual categories. Various authors’ rights contracts, whether they have legally specified names or not, are more defined in relation to their environment than in relation to their effects. The conveyancing effect is common to any author contract. The mention of a price and the obligation of exploitation are commonplace in several “legally named contracts” in French author law. Therefore the characterization of an author law contract is first and foremost related to its human and material environment: i.e., the kind of creation, or the kind of authors’ right mentioned in the contract, or the legal identity of the parties, notably the identity of the contracting party as an “author”. Contrary to characterization of an author contract in view of French Authors’ Right Law, characterization of an author contract in view of French Civil Law relates more to its effects than to its environment. This is logical, since contractual civil code categories are not defined in relation to the environment of contracts. Because the legal nature of an author contract is not an obstacle to its characterization in the field of Civil Law, the effects of author contracts are the only relevant criteria for distinguishing between them. When the obligation of exploitation is not subsidiary, the characterization of an author contract as a sale contract can only be set aside. The terms and conditions of exploitation management in some author contracts underline the fact that, most of the time, publishing contracts, representation contracts, and production contracts are in fact contracts of lease
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
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
