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
Service
No full textService is the procedure by which a plaintiff informs a defendant of the claim being made against them. Personal service is the foundation of jurisdiction and is required for originating proceedings. It is also an essential requirement of natural justice. Ordinary service has less stringent requirements than personal service and is sufficient fo rinterlocutory proceedings. Special service rules have developed for certain types of parties, such as corporations and those parties under a disability. Special rules exist in relation to certain types of actions — for example, motor vehicle personal injury actions. Technical service rules have also developed for service out of the jurisdiction, both within and outside the Commonwealth of Australia. Where a plaintiff experiences difficulties in serving a defendant, the plaintiff may seek an order for substituted service, provided the method proposed is likely to bring the proceedingto the attention of the defendant
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
Group proceedings
No full textThis chapter is concerned with traditional representative proceedings and class actions asfurther procedures, in addition to joinder, for the grouping of claims. The purpose of group proceedings is to foster access to justice, reduce delay and constrain costs. The traditional representative proceeding does this by permitting a person to represent agroup of plaintiffs or defendants having the same interest in the litigation. The class action extends the traditional representative proceeding by having a single representative plaintiff represent the interests of group members who have the same, similar or related circumstances, raising substantial factual and legal questions to be determined. Mass production and the distribution of goods increases the risk of injury, loss or damage on a mass scale involving potentially small amounts for each claimant — such litigation without a class action would be uneconomic. Class actions by aggregating group members helps overcome cost barriers and promotes access to justice by providing a consistent solution with the least possible delay and impact on court schedules
