No full textBasic Questions of Tort Law from a Comparative Perspective
Full text linkThe starting point for this project on the »Basic Questions of Tort Law« was the book written by Helmut Koziol, the »Basic Questions of Tort Law from a Germanic Perspective« (Sramek Verlag, 2012), a volume which presented an introduction into the law of torts from a Germanic perspective. Colleagues from seven countries were then invited to give critical responses to the ideas presented in the 2012 volume. The comparative law conclusions then attempt to pick up on the ideas expressed in the legal systems examined and to make them amenable for debate on the further development of the legal systems and their harmonisation.

Directors’ and Officers’ liability in Italy
No full textIn recent years several cases concerning the liability of directors and officers have courted controversy. Arguments raised in such discussions oscillate between two extremes: on the one hand, the need for governing bodies to give a space to entrepreneurial discretion and on the other hand to ensure the protection of investors in and creditors of a company from the consequences of disadvantageous decisions by those bodies. In light of the geographical dispersal of the above stakeholders, the study highlights on the relevant provisions in Italy, addressing the main issues also taking into consideration and suggesting principles for better stakeholder protection

German Version: http://e-book.fwf.ac.at/o:603Ausgangspunkt für das Projekt „Grundfragen des Schadenersatzrechts aus rechtsvergleichender Sicht“ war das von Helmut Koziol verfasste Buch „Grundfragen des Schadenersatzrechts“ (Sramek Verlag, 2010), welches eine Einführung in das Schadenersatzrecht des deutschsprachigen Raums darstellt. Vertreter aus sieben Ländern wurden gebeten, kritische Stellungnahmen zu den in diesem Buch erörterten Ideen abzugeben. Die daraus gewonnenen rechtsvergleichenden Schlussfolgerungen greifen die den behandelten Rechtsordnungen zugrunde liegenden Prinzipien auf und sollen diese damit einer Diskussion über die weitere Entwicklung und Harmonisierung der Rechtsordnungen zugänglich machen.

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
