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
La necesidad de una normativa ad hoc para la protección de la propiedad intelectual colectiva de los pueblos indígenas de América Latina. A propósito de la apropiación y del uso indebidos de sus expresiones culturales tradicionales por la industria de la moda y del design
Get PDFThis contribution analyzes the need for ad hoc normativity (at both national and international levels) to protect the intellectual property of Latin American indigenous peoples’ ancestral knowledge. It aims to demonstrate how this normativity must specifically account for the collective, multigenerational, and holistic nature of these peoples, considering the appropriation and misuse of traditional Latin American cultural expressions by the fashion and design industries.El artículo analiza la necesidad de una legislación ad hoc (tanto a nivel internacional como nacional) para la protección de la propiedad intelectual de los pueblos indígenas de América Latina sobre sus saberes ancestrales. Tiene como fin demostrar que esta legislación ad hoc debe tener en cuenta especialmente el carácter colectivo, multigeneracional y holístico de estos pueblos, tomando como referencia los casos de apropiación y de uso indebidos de las expresiones culturales tradicionales indígenas latinoamericanas por parte de la industria de la moda y del design
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
El nuevo régimen jurídico de los animales en las codificaciones civiles de Europa y América
No full textThe article analyzes the reforms introduced or projected, in the last decades, to the legal regime of animals in some civil codifications in Europe and America, in line with the legislation on animal welfare, which qualifies them not as things but as sentient beings. This new paradigm has led to the overcoming of the traditional people-things dichotomy, through the configuration of a tertium genus dedicated to them and the development of a special legal regime, with repercussions –mainly–on property, civil liability, family and hereditary succession matters.El artículo analiza las reformas introducidas o proyectadas, en las últimas décadas, al régimen jurídico de los animales en algunas codificaciones civiles de Europa y América, en consonancia con la legislación sobre el bienestar animal, que califica a los animales no ya como cosas sino como seres sintientes. Este nuevo paradigma ha conducido a la superación de la tradicional dicotomía personas-cosas, mediante la configuración de un tertium genus a ellos dedicado, así como a la elaboración de un régimen jurídico especial, con repercusiones –principalmente– en materia de propiedad, responsabilidad civil, familia y sucesiones

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
El Código Civil de Puerto Rico de 2020 desde la perspectiva del derecho comparado
No full textFrom the perspective of comparative law, this article analyzes how much the new Code Civil of Puerto Rico contributes to the development and consolidation of the Romanistic legal system, reaffirming its roots in Roman law. Additionally, it evaluates how the Code adapts to the new paradigms of private law in the early 21st century and aligns itself with avant-garde civil codifications in many of its norms. All this, despite being a system strongly besieged by the Common Law.El artículo analiza, desde la perspectiva del derecho comparado, cuánto contribuye el nuevo Código Civil de Puerto Rico al desarrollo y consolidación del sistema jurídico romanístico, al reafirmar su pertenencia a la tradición del derecho romano, y cómo se alinea con los postulados de las codificaciones civiles más vanguardistas, al ajustarse en muchas de sus regulaciones a los nuevos paradigmas del derecho privado de inicios del siglo XXI. Todo ello, a pesar de tratarse de un ordenamiento fuertemente asediado por el Common Law
