The Economic Integration Maturity of Romania and Bulgaria
Full text linkThe paper discusses the issue of integration maturity in the case of
Romania and Bulgaria. These countries joined the European Union in 2007 and since
then several economic issues and problems were revealed related to their accession.
The aim of this paper is to analyze the economic integration maturity of Romania
and Bulgaria at the time of their accession and since then. The paper suggests that
although these countries fulfilled the Copenhagen criteria were not fully prepared
to join the EU markets. The paper forms the hypothesis that Romania and Bulgaria
did not fulfill all the criteria of economic integration maturity and were not fully
ready to join the EU in 2007. However, by the time of their accession, their readiness
was appropriate to join. To prove this, the paper uses the methodology of economic
integration maturity. The concept of integration maturity is more complex than the
economic accession criteria since it shows how a candidate country is able to exploit
the benefits of membership and minimize its drawbacks before and after the accession. Based on data analysis and document analysis it can be examined how successfully these countries could exploit the economic stimulating effects of joining the
economic integration, how effectively took advantage in cohesion and convergence
to the other member states during their membership. In sum, it can be stated whether
Romania and Bulgaria were able to exploit the benefits of their membership and
minimize the drawbacks
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
