Back to the Future? The Evolution of European Social Citizenship through the Lens of Citations
No full textIn the aftermath of Dano and its progeny, the citizenship jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union (the Court) featured at the forefront of academic contributions. Legal scholarship unanimously identified a jurisprudential shift towards a more restrictive interpretation of citizenship provisions, leading to the refusal of social assistance which further alluded to the return of the ‘market citizen’. Nonetheless, it remains unclear whether the shift extends beyond the regular jurisprudential ebb-and-flow and if it permanently redirected the trajectory of European social citizenship. Against this backdrop, the paper empirically revisits the Court’s entire citizenship jurisprudence from a novel perspective, that of citations, charting the various shades and shapes of European social citizenship across time. The research question seeks to determine whether the restrictive approach observed in the 2010s is more prevalent than that adopted in the so-called classics in recent judgments. In approaching the question, all citizenship judgments delivered by the Court until October 2023 are examined by combining network and legal analysis. The findings reveal a fundamental change in the reference frame of citizenship judgments delivered from 2016 onwards. Citations to the classic jurisprudence are largely absent and in the rare instances they are substantially cited they lend support to expansive interpretations of European social citizenship. Even though the Court still relies on rights-opening precedents in cases concerning the rights of third-country national family members of Union citizens, this expansive approach does not extend to the social dimension of European citizenship where the reference frame is dominated by the restrictive line of cases
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
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

Concluding remarks. | (Abstract) The Court of Justice of the European Union (the Court) is often hailed as a pioneer in integration through law. Existing scholarship on the Court’s judicial power overwhelmingly focuses on constitu-tionalisation and the horizontal policy dimension. As a result, the judicial techniques behind the Court’s policy-making and the ensuing implications for domestic policies remain largely understudied. The re-cent deconstitutionalisation of EU law begs the question as to whether the Court can steer national policies through its case-law without constitutionalising policy outcomes. The Article responds to this gap, by empirically investigating the legal techniques underpinning the Court’s policy-making in a de-constitutionalised manner and the ensuing implications for Member States’ policies. The analysis exam-ines the legal reasoning in all cases where the Court applies the provisions of Directive 2004/38 by anal-ogy, as an example of the deconstitutionalisation process, and traces the responses of all Member States to the Court’s jurisprudence. The findings illustrate that the creation of rights through the analo-gous application of Directive 2004/38 enables the Court to diplomatically balance competing interests and is successful in generating judicial Europeanisation in the domain of migration
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
