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
Human Rights and Unilateral Economic Sanctions: A New Perspective on a Twisted Relationship
No full textLiterature and practice outlining the relationship between human rights and unilateral economic sanctions veer in two opposite directions. One strand of literature advocates for sanctions to redress grave human rights violations. This position has been epitomised in the legislation allowing the imposition of economic sanctions for human rights violations occurring abroad (Magnitskystyle sanctions). The opposing voice criticises unilateral economic sanctions irrespective of their objectives and forms, mainly by emphasising their negative repercussions on the enjoyment of human rights. This position is officially adopted by the Special Rapporteur on the negative impact of unilateral coercive measures on the enjoyment of human rights, and is reflected in numerous reports on the matter, which are traditionally supported by the most-sanctioned countries.
This contribution aims to explore perplexing and multifaceted relations between human rights and unilateral economic sanctions, an issue that is politically tainted, and which has been insufficiently analysed from a legal standpoint. Retreating from the clashes between these prevailing old, unworkable dichotomies, this contribution argues for a more nuanced portrayal of the subject matter
Witness Protection as a Subjective Right and its Elements
Get PDFThe main idea of this paper is that the witness protection is a subjective, public right and is a result of protection of fundamental human rights. It is fundamental, public, individual, positive, directly relative and indirectly absolute right. The following entitlements stem from the fundamental right of witness to protection: a) entitlement to be informed about one’s right to protection; b) entitlement to demand or waive one’s right to protection; c) entitlement to withhold one’s personal details, testimony in full or answers to particular questions until the decision is made as to his request for protection; d) entitlement to two-instance decision on one’s request; e) entitlement to have a proxy; f) entitlement to enjoy protection. The analysis of procedural witness protection in the comparative law shows that the witness in some countries does not have certain entitlements. On the other side, some entitlements are generally recognized. Certain differencies are understandable and acceptable, but not all of them. It is necessary to work on the realization of all entitlements that can be derived from subjective right to witness protection.Witnesses protection, criminal proceedings, the right to life, subject right, right to protection
