Bits, Bytes, Searches, and Hits:Logging-in Accountability for EU Data-led Security
No full textEU data-led and interoperable security poses profound challenges to democratic control and to the normative principles of legal protection and accountability. This chapter analyses the ad hoc practices of accountability that are developing in relation to the actors and instruments in a number of EU security programmes and assesses their ‘loggedness’ in relation to data. The aim is twofold. First, the chapter offers a mapping exercise in relation to accountability practices in a selection of established and emerging database configurations in the EU security realm. The focus is on four security programmes that operate across national boundaries and across public and private spheres: EU-TFTP, TERREG, ETIAS, and ECRIS-TCN. Second, it assesses the extent to which the selected mechanisms are ‘logged-in’ to the work of data analysis that they are expected to give account of. In conclusion, the authors reflect on what a fuller, more meaningful ‘logged-in’ accountability in relation to data-led security could and should look like, both in terms of institutions and digital practices
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
