¿Un normativismo “redondo”? El positivismo jurídico “interno” a examen
No full textEl presente trabajo realiza un abordaje crítico sobre la obra “Positivismo jurídico ‘interno’” (2018) de María Cristina Redondo. Se analizan cada uno de los capítulos de la obra con exhaustividad y se presentan diversas críticas o problemas que la autora ha dejado sin resolver. También se pone en valor sus virtudes y el recorrido que esta obra ha tenido en la discusión iusflosófca actual. El principal objetivo de este trabajo es facilitar la lectura de la obra, clarifcando diversos temas que se dan por conocidos o desambiguando algunos de los argumentos de la autora. Finalmente se realiza un balance de la obra y se concluye asegurando que a la posición teórica defendida a lo largo de los cinco capítulos, el positivismo jurídico interno, le espera un estimulante porvenir.Este trabajo ha sido realizado gracias a las ayudas BES-2017-081308 y BES-2017-081610, y a los proyectos DER2016-80471-C2-1-R y DER2016-80471-C2-2-R del Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad de España
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
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
Los problemas epistemológicos de las reglas genuinas en «Positivismo jurídico ‘interno’» de María Cristina Redondo
No full textIn this paper, I analyse the account of «genuine» rules that Redondo presents in the second chapter of her book «Internal» legal positivism. Firstly, I examine the adequacy conditions of genuine rules by interpreting them in the light of the that’s it clause proposed by Holton. Secondly, I defend that my interpretation allows confirming Redondo’s answer against «the epistemological objection» of genuine rules. Thirdly, I present the rule-following paradox detected by Wittgenstein and explain why it is an epistemological problem for Redondo’s theory. Finally, I suggest García-Carpintero’s interpretation of Wittgenstein’s theory of meaning as a solution compatible with Redondo’s theory of genuine rules.En el presente trabajo analizo la propuesta de reglas «genuinas» que Redondo presenta en el capítulo segundo de su obra Positivismo jurídico ‘interno’. En primer lugar, examino las condiciones de adecuación que las reglas «genuinas» deben cumplir y las interpreto a la luz de la cláusula That’s it de Holton. En segundo lugar, defiendo que esta reinterpretación permite confirmar la respuesta que Redondo ofrece a lo que llama «la objeción epistémica» contra las reglas genuinas. En tercer lugar, presento la paradoja del seguimiento de reglas de Wittgenstein y el problema epistémico que supone para la teoría de Redondo. Por último, sugiero que la interpretación de García-Carpintero de la teoría del significado de Wittgenstein puede ser una solución compatible con el concepto de reglas «genuinas» de Redondo
Tras el rastro de la concepción hartiana del deporte de Pérez Triviño: descubriendo su tesis ontológica, epistémica y sobre la aplicación
No full textEn el presente trabajo se realiza un comentario acerca del artículo ¿Una concepción hartiana del deporte¿ que Pérez Triviño ha escrito para la presente edición de Discusiones. El principal objetivo es mostrar cuáles son las tesis ontológicas, epistémicas y sobre la aplicación implícitas en él, como forma de realizar un análisis global de la concepción propuesta. Con la tesis ontológica se presenta su concepción del deporte como institución social; con la tesis epistémica, su teoría positivista incluyente acerca de las fuentes del deporte, así como su concepción intermedia de la interpretación de las fuentes; y, con la tesis sobre la aplicación, cómo entiende Pérez Triviño que los árbitros usan las normas a la hora de aplicar sanciones. A través de estas tres tesis, se analizan la variedad de compromisos asumidos por el autor, así como se señalan algunas de sus principales incoherencias
