Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Justice in ICC OTP Public Communications
No full textThis database contains all press releases and public statements placed on the ICC website's 'News' section and attributed to the Office of the Prosecutor between 24 April 2003 and 2 November 2018.
The ICC website is https://www.icc-cpi.int.
The dataset allows:
1. The user to see whether 'justice' refers to victims or a defendant; or whether it refers to doing 'justice' generally; or in other contexts (for example, in phrases 'peace versus justice', or 'transitional justice', or in titles of documents).
2. The user to see the rationales that justify why justice should be done for the victims;
3. The user to see whether, when 'justice' is referred to in the context of defendants, defendants are treated as being responsible, allegedly responsible, neutrally, or whether there is a recognition of their due process rights;
4. The user to see uses of the word 'impartial' or 'impartially'
International Criminal Law Prosecution Witness Statistics
No full textThis dataset contains information on the number of witnesses called by the Prosecution at the International Criminal Court (ICC), International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), and the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) in all initial cases for core international crimes (except those at the ICC that have not yet seen the defendant's first appearance). Retrials are not included
International Criminal Law Prosecution Sentencing Recommendation Statistics
No full textThis dataset contains the original, first instance prosecution sentencing recommendations and imposed sentences for defendants at the International Criminal Court (ICC), International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), and the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL). It contains additional information on:
- Whether the sentence fell within the range recommended by the Prosecution;
- Whether the sentence was effectively a life sentence, based on World Bank data and the birth dates of the defendants;
- Whether there was a prosecution sentencing appeal.
This dataset contains data from World Bank, Life expectancy at birth, male (years) (SP.DYN.LE00.MA.IN, 2017)
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
