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
Universal, tolerante e inclusivo: uma nova racionalidade para o Direito Internacional Privado na era dos direitos humanos
Get PDFUNIVERSAL, TOLERANTE E INCLUSIVO: UMA NOVA RACIONALIDADE PARA O DIREITO INTERNACIONAL PRIVADO NA ERA DOS DIREITOS HUMANOS UNIVERSAL, TOLERANT AND INCLUSIVE: A NEW RATIONALITY FOR PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL LAW IN THE ERA OF HUMAN RIGHTS André de Carvalho Ramos* RESUMO: O presente artigo visa expor uma nova racionalidade na aplicação dos direitos humanos de modo integral no Direito Internacional Privado, mantendo a especificidade da disciplina. Esse objetivo exige reconhecer o regime jurídico diferenciado dos direitos humanos e sua incidência sobre os fatos transnacionais da vida privada, resultando em conflitos de direitos de indivíduos e empresas em situações antagônicas. Além disso, implica em analisar o modo pelo qual é possível interpretar tais direitos para que se preserve a tolerância e a alteridade do Direito Internacional Privado, evitando que haja uso excessivo dos vetores hermenêuticos nacionais, com a consequente aniquilação da própria identidade da disciplina. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Direito Internacional Privado. Direitos fundamentais. Direitos humanos. Tolerância. Universalismo. Inclusão. ABSTRACT: This article aims to expose a new rationality in the application of human rights in a comprehensive manner in Private International Law, while maintaining the specificity of the discipline. This objective requires the recognition of the differentiated legal regime of human rights and its incidence on transnational facts of private life, resulting in conflicts of rights of individuals and companies in antagonistic situations. In addition, it implies analyzing the way in which it is possible to interpret such rights in order to preserve the tolerance and otherness of Private International Law, avoiding the excessive use of national hermeneutic vectors, with the consequent annihilation of the discipline's own identity. KEYWORDS: Private International Law. Fundamental rights. Human rights. Tolerance. Universalism. Inclusion. ABSTRACT: The paper makes an analysis of Brazil's tax on industrialized products (IPI) by setting as a parameter Neumak’s tax principles (1994). In the end, it reveals that as the tax does little to observe the socio-political principles, the principals of political-economy and the legal-taxation ones, its replacement in a tax reform that included other indirect taxes could bring advantages both to economic and law order.

Direito internacional privado e o direito transnacional: entre a unificação e a anarquia
Get PDFO presente artigo objetiva delinear as relações do Direito Transnacional com o Direito Internacional Privado contemporâneo, detectando dois modos de interação entre as respectivas normas, aqui denominados de abordagem de unificação e abordagem anárquica, que geram relações de cooperação e conflito. Para tanto, serão estudados dois feixes de normas transnacionais, a nova lex mercatoria e a lex digitalis, como exemplos de cada uma de tais abordagens, mostrando os limites e restrições estabelecidos pelo Direito Internacional Privado e seus valores contemporâneos. Conclui-se pugnando que a autonomia da vontade, elemento informador do Direito Transnacional, deve ser interpretada em conjunto com os demais direitos dos envolvidos nos fatos transfronteiriços, impondo condicionantes e respeito aos valores que o Direito Internacional Privado da atualidade alberga
