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
La finzione di non ingresso nel nuovo Patto sulla migrazione e l’asilo: detenzione sistematica ai confini dell’Europa?
No full textIl nuovo Patto sulla migrazione e l’asilo introduce nel diritto dell’Unione nuove procedure da svolgersi presso le frontiere esterne degli Stati membri. In particolare, attraverso lo screening di frontiera, il Patto prevede l’obbligo di effettuare una verifica preliminare che comprende l’identificazione, i controlli sanitari e di sicurezza, nonché il rilevamento delle impronte digitali e il loro inserimento nella banca dati Eurodac. Il Patto chiarisce che le domande di asilo presentate alle frontiere non conferiscono un diritto automatico di entrare nell’Unione. Il contributo esamina la portata e le implicazioni di tali previsioni
Between physical and legal borders: the fiction of non-entry and its impact on the rights of migrants at the borders between EU law and the ECHR
No full textThis article examines the legal fiction of non-entry and its impact on the human rights of migrants at the borders within the framework of the ECtHR and EU law. The analysis focuses on three main areas of law: detention, asylum and expulsion. The contribution will first give a definition of the fiction of non-entry and explain how it is implemented in a number of national legal frameworks concerning third-country nationals at the borders. In particular, the case of France (before and after the Amuur ECtHR judgment) and the case of Germany will be examined. The article will then analyse the fiction of non-entry in the ECtHR jurisprudence, in particular with regards to Article 5 ECHR. The third section explores how such a legal fiction is implemented in EU law, throughout the analysis of the relevant provisions of the Schengen Border Code and of the EU Directives related to asylum and expulsion of third-country nationals. Finally, the New Pact on Migration and Asylum will be investigated, namely how it institutionalises the fiction of non-entry at the EU external borders within the framework of the new proposals for a pre-entry screening and for an asylum procedures regulation
Rajabu and others v. Tanzania. A step toward the abolition of death penalty in Africa or a missed opportunity?
Full text linkThe article analyses the recent judgment of the African Court on Human and People Rights in the case of Rajabu and others v. Tanzania. The case concerns five Tanzanian nationals condemned to death by hanging and concerns three different but related objects: Tanzania’s violation of the right to a fair trial, of the right to life and of the right to dignity. The article focuses on the Court's reasoning on the right to life and the right to dignity as opposed to the issue of death penalty. Indeed, the judgment is particularly relevant, as the Court deals with the issue of death penalty or the first time in its history
Thiam c. Italia. La Corte EDU e le zone di transito aeroportuali italiane tra finzioni giuridiche e prassi extra legem
Full text linkIl contributo analizza il recente caso Thiam c. l'Italie, passato al vaglio della Corte EDU in agosto 2022. Il caso coinvolge il trattenimento e il respingimento di uno straniero presso la zona di transito aeroportuale di Malpensa. L'articolo analizza la decisione della Corte insieme alla situazione delle zone di transito aeroportuali italiane e della legislazione loro applicabile evidenziandone i limiti e i problemi
L’allontanamento dei cittadini di Paesi terzi con figli di minore età cittadini dell’Unione e il principio del superiore interesse del minore alla luce della giurisprudenza della Corte e della sentenza nella causa C-112/20
Full text linkIl contributo analizza la recente decisione della Corte di giustizia dell'Unione Europea nel caso C-112/20, che coinvolge un cittadino di paese terzo colpito da provvedimento di espulsione genitore di un cittadino dell'Unione Europea di minore età. In particolare, vengono analizzati la rilevanza assunta dal principio del superiore interesse del minore e la definizione del contenuto dei legami di dipendenza che intercorrono tra quest'ultimo e il suo genitore cittadino di paese terzo nel caso di specie. Il contributo mette in relazione tali elementi con la giurisprudenza della Corte in materia di allontanamento di cittadini di paesi terzi che abbiano legami di parentela con cittadini dell'Unione Europea
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
