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
Il judicial dialogue tra la Corte di giustizia dell’Unione europea e la Corte europea dei diritti dell’uomo
Get PDF2013 - 2014The research aims to provide a framework of the different stages of development of the relations between the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights, which appear, at present, still subject to further definition. The study of case law focusing on convergences and divergences between the two European Courts is the analysis tool more appropriate to observe this interaction.
Though the analysis of the most important case law of the two supreme European Courts gives account of a well-established dialogue between the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights on the protection of fundamental rights, is not completely averted the risk of different interpretations of the same rights: the different approach regarding ne bis in idem principle represents a clear demonstration of this contrast.
In this context, the need for a cooperative relationship between the two courts emerges clearly, for the first time expressis verbis, from Declaration n. 2 on Article 6, par. 2 TEU, which provides that “The Conference agrees that the Union's accession to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms should be arranged in such a way as to preserve the specific features of Union law. In this connection, the Conference notes the existence of a regular dialogue between the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights; such dialogue could be reinforced when the Union accedes to that Convention”.
Therefore, it is inevitable the “institutionalization” of the judicial dialogue, to resolve permanently problems arising from the continuous and persistent convergences and divergences between the two European Courts. This institutionalization will introduce an external review of the European Court of Human Rights on the Court of Justice of the European Union as a “bastion” for the protection of fundamental rights in the European Union system.
In this perspective, the solution of the problems of coordination between the case law of the two Courts is ensured by the future (or futuristic) agreement on the accession of the European Union to the European Convention on Human Rights.
The debate has become more than ever actual thanks to the latest developments that have affected the process of the accession of the EU to the ECHR in the aftermath of the Opinion 2/13 of the Court of Justice (Full Court) of 18 December 2014. It has temporarily blocked the process of EU accession to the ECHR and, therefore, the “formalization” of the dialogue between the courts of Luxembourg and Strasbourg and has clearly shown that there are still some obstacles to the “institutionalization” of relationships between the two courts.
