Manfred Weiss. Giurista senza frontiere
Full text linkQuesto volume accoglie alcuni importanti contributi di Manfred Weiss, tradotti in lingua italiana, preceduti da un’intensa e ricca intervista condotta da Michele Tiraboschi. Manfred Weiss è stato un pioniere del metodo comparato applicato agli studi giuslavoristici, e un modello per gli studiosi di diritto del lavoro che lo hanno incontrato nelle prime fasi della loro carriera accademica. Con il suo lavoro, ha aperto la strada a un nuovo approccio alla ricerca giuridica, schierandosi sempre a favore dei più deboli e di coloro che lottano per far sentire la propria voce. Questo volume vuole orientare, motivare e ispirare le giovani generazioni di giuristi del lavoro (tanto nella comunità internazionale dei giuslavoristi quanto in quella nazionale), offrendo la testimonianza di un giuslavorismo al tempo stesso moderno e progettuale, capace di andare oltre la sola considerazione del proprio percorso di carriera
Manfred Weiss. A Legal Scholar without Borders. Selected Writings and Some Reflections on the Future of Labour Law
Full text linkThis volume collects some of the most significant works by Manfred Weiss. They are preceded by an interview made by Michele Tiraboschi to Prof. Weiss about the origins of the German and European culture of work. Manfred Weiss has been a pioneer of comparative labour law and a role model for labour law scholars who met him in the early stages of their academic career. With his work, he paved the way for a new approach to legal research, standing up for the weakest and those who struggle to have their voices heard. Manfred Weiss has showed us that we can engage in research and share the results of our work, promoting academia not only in terms of individual careers but as an area contributing to the future of work and benefitting institutions and people
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

No full textVariations 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
