    The new law of procedure in public administration

    The author refers to his earlier articles published in the journal and discusses the changes that have recently been introduced into Poland's law of procedure, or are about to be introduced. He devotes much consideration to the Act of May 11, 1995, on the Chief Administrative Court, together with some model changes. However, the very wide range of powers now conferred on the Court may lengthen the time period of settling complaints. The author points at the disintegration of the law of procedure, manifest, among others, in the exclusion of proceedings in the Chief Administrative Court from the Code of Administrative Proceedings. The attempt to exclude from the Code which gives the citizen large proceedings securities, the proceeding in tax cases and its regulation under a separate Act gives cause to greatest anxiety.Digitalizacja i deponowanie archiwalnych zeszytów RPEiS sfinansowane przez MNiSW w ramach realizacji umowy nr 541/P-DUN/201

    Administrative courts in the 1990s

    Proper understanding of the nature and developmental tendencies of general administrative courts requires a retrospect view, reaching to the pre-war period. Despite the absence of administrative courts from the Polish scene for over forty years, there is undoubtedly a certain consistent developmental line. Namely, the dratfs of administrative courts legislation from 1958 and 1972 clearly referred to the Acts on the Supreme Administrative Tribunal; the same Acts had great influence on the Law of 31 January 1980 on the Chief Administrative Court. The author characterises the organisation and the scope of activity of the Chief Administrative Tribunal. Then he presents the amendments introduced in 1990, in particular the widening of ratione materiae jurisdiction (a general clause with very few exceptions) and granting to that Tribunal the powers resulting from the emergence of local self-government (i.a. judicial control of acts connected with the execution by state authorities of supervision over local self-government, settlement of competence disputes between local self-government and central state administration organs). In the final part of his article the author investigates developmental prospects of administrative courts and the provisions of the future Constitution.Digitalizacja i deponowanie archiwalnych zeszytów RPEiS sfinansowane przez MNiSW w ramach realizacji umowy nr 541/P-DUN/201

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Get PDF
    The 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

    “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 PDF
    We 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 PDF
    We 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

    Development of General Administrative Procedure

    Get PDF
    La première codification polonaise de la procédure administrative, du reste l'une des premières codifications dans le monde, fut le décret de 1928 inspiré du modèle autrichien. Ce décret resta en vigueur après la guerre jusqu'à la fin de 1960 sans renouvellement formel. Cela ne veut pas dire qu'il n'a pas été sujet à des modifications indirectes dans les nouvelles conditions de régime. Ces modifications ont commencé à se produire surtout au moment de l'introduction en 1951 des „plaintes et motions". Cette institution introduisant une „actio populaires" et un nouveau genre de procédure, a désactualisé certaines dispositions de la procédure administrative non contentieuse de 1928. Son effet cependant fut également un certain dualisme dans la procédure. Le code de procédure administrative — loi du 14 juin 1960 — a éliminé ce dualisme harmonisant les „plaintes et motions" avec la procédure administrative sensu stricto, c'est à dire la procédure „quasi-juridictionelle". Il a également pris en considération d'autres nouvelles institutions de l'état socialiste: la participation d'organisations sociales à la procédure, ainsi que l'intervention du procureur au service de la légalité. Un grand mérite du C.p.a. est de formuler les principes généraux de la procédure administrative, tels que le principe de la légalité, le principe de stabilité des décisions administratives définitives, le principe selon lequel les organes administratifs doivent, par leur façon de procéder consolider la confiance des citoyens envers les organes de l'Etat, etc. Tendant à assurer à la partie en cause la position la plus favorable que possible dans la procédure administrative, le C.p.a. rapproche encore plus fort cette procédure du procès judiciaire civil. Il définit donc plus largement la notion de partie en cause, il renforce la garantie d'impartialité dans la procédure, il élargit les droits de la partie en cause dans la procédure d'enquête, il introduit et modifie les anciens moyens juridiques (recours et réclamations) etc. La codification de la procédure administrative non contentieuse de 1960 a reçu en général, dans le pays et à l'étranger, des opinions très positives. Elle a ouvert une nouvelle époque importante non seulement dans le développement de la procédure administrative. Une intéressante littérature se développe très vivement ainsi que la juridication des organes centrais de l'administration de l'état. Parmi les problèmes les plus importants et les plus difficiles de la pratique administrative, il convient de citer l'unité d'interprétation des prescriptions du code de procédure administrative; conséquemment à cela on a entre autres émis des propositions concernant l'organisation du contrôle juridictionnel de la légalité administrative.Digitalizacja i deponowanie archiwalnych zeszytów RPEiS sfinansowane przez MNiSW w ramach realizacji umowy nr 541/P-DUN/201
