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
The Legal Interest of Money Laundering Crime
No full text即便洗錢行為本身之歷史堪稱與貨幣之歷史同樣悠久，洗錢行為之入罪化仍不過是二十世紀後半的事情。何以本非犯罪之行為於一夕之間成為犯罪，其入罪化之社會背景為何，仍有未明。此外，由於洗錢活動多係運用合法之金融操作手段進行，從而究竟其不法性何在，亦有待深究。本文認為，洗錢行為之入罪化與1970年代以後風險社會之影響有所關聯。事實上，自風險社會之概念提出以來，刑法之目的與功能為何便再次成為學界關注之焦點。基本上，基於維持刑法謙抑性、避免刑罰過度擴張之考量，刑法之目的在於保護法益，而非維持規範同一性之見解是較為合理的。據此，法益概念仍有其作為刑事立法拘束器之功能，而有加以保留之價值。既然刑法之正當性源自於對法益之保護，則洗錢行為之所以必須以刑罰處罰之理由，亦應係由於洗錢行為破壞了人類維持共同社會生活所必要之條件。關於洗錢罪保護法益之思考，主要有三個方向：個人法益、社會法益以及國家法益。本文認為，洗錢罪與保護個人財產法益之贓物罪不同，洗錢行為亦不致對經濟秩序造成侵害，究其實質，洗錢罪所保護者，應係國家司法權力之圓滑運作，其目的不僅在於避免因證據之毀損或滅失導致國家刑罰權確認程序上之困難，亦在於保全國家刑罰權確認後之執行
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
