Romania: an ambivalent parliamentary opposition
No full textIn recent years an increasing number of scholars have analyzed the workings of the Romanian Parliament focusing on individual legislative behavior topics ranging from voting cohesion (Coman 2012; Gherghina and Chiru 2014) toco-sponsorship patterns (Neamtu 2011; Chiru and Neamtu 2012) and constituency service (Chiru 2015). Another substantive body of scholarship concentrated on the MPs' attitudes, more specifically on their views on party discipline (Stefan et al 2012), representation roles (Chiru and Enyedi 2015), or their willingness to stand for re-election (Chiru et al 2013). In contrast, little work has been done on opposition behavior in Romania. The scarce scholarship looked mostly at no confidence motions and investiture votes (Stan and Vancea 2014; Stan 2015; Chiva 2015).
This chapter makes a step in this direction and seeks to understand the voting behavior, legislative initiative and scrutiny of the opposition in Romania between 2007 and 2011

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
