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
Legal character of counterpurchase contracts
No full textThe article presents the analysis of legal qualification of counterpurchase
contracts in the light of the Polish law. The subject-matter of the analysis are:
the counterpurchase contract as a final sale contract, as a contract for negotiations,
as a preliminary contract, and as a frame contract.
The author is of the opinion that counterpurchase contracts may most often
be qualified as frame contracts.Digitalizacja i deponowanie archiwalnych zeszytów RPEiS sfinansowane przez MNiSW w ramach realizacji umowy nr 541/P-DUN/201
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 contens of counterpurchase contract in international trade
No full textCounterpurchase contract is one of more frequently concluded countertrade
transactions in international trade. Like other countertrade transactions, it is not
separately regulated in Polish law. The basis of any attempts to systematize these
phenomena and to examine their legal character must be the analysis of their
contents. In particular, the analysis of stipulations of a counterpurchase contract,
i.e. a specific and characteristic type of such transactions, should be carried out.
The author defines a counterpurchase contract as a type of a countertrade
transaction in which the exporter obliges himself to purchase from the importer,
or from any other person indicated by the latter, goods for the value being usually
in proportion to the cost of the export transaction. In his article the author analyses:
the stipulation of a counterpurchase contract formulating the duty to conclude
in future the execution contracts — the indication of the volume of an
obligation, type of goods and prices (sec. 3), clauses typical for international trade
contracts — reexport clause, binding force clause, arbitration clause and property
clause (sec. 4), stipulations determining the performance of an obligation — time
limit, the certificate releasing from the obligation (sec. 5), indications of legal
consequences of non-performance — stipulated penalties and the consequences of
paying them.Digitalizacja i deponowanie archiwalnych zeszytów RPEiS sfinansowane przez MNiSW w ramach realizacji umowy nr 541/P-DUN/201
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
Rechtsgeschäftsähnliche Geschäften
No full textWydział Prawa i Administracji: Katedra Prawa Cywilnego, Handlowego i UbezpieczeniowegoPraca analizuje tzw. czynności podobne do czynności prawnych (oświadczenia podobne do oświadczeń woli). Do badań nad takimi czynnościami wykorzystano hipotetystyczny paradygmat metodologiczny. Do sformułowania hipotez dotyczących przedmiotu badań wykorzystano semiotykę, filozofię analityczną, teorię prawa i teorię argumentacji. Przyjęte i uzasadnione hipotezy wyznaczyły definicję czynności podobnych. Czynności podobne do czynności prawnych są to takie czynności konwencjonalne mające charakter performatywu, których reguły sensu nie są konstruowane przez prawodawcę, a z których wytworami prawodawca w określonych okolicznościach wiąże określone skutki prawne. Definicja pozwoliła na wskazanie konkretnych zdarzeń prawnych z KC i KRiO mających charakter czynności podobnych. W dalszej kolejności zbadano możliwość stosowania do czynności podobnych norm prawa cywilnego odnoszących się expressis verbis jedynie do czynności prawnych, względnie oświadczeń woli.In der Arbeit analisiert man die sog. rechtsgeschäftsähnlichen Geschäften. Die Untersuchungen wurde auf Grund der allgemeinen Hipothesen durchgeführt. Um die Hipothesen zu formulieren, verwert man die Semiotik, die analytysche Philosophie, die Rechtstheorie und die Theorie der Komunikation. Die angenohmenen und begründeten Hipothese gaben die Definition der „rechtsgeschäftsähnlichen Geschäften“. Die rechtsgeschäftsähnlichen Geschäften sind also solche konventionelle Geschäfte, die die Charakter eines Performatives haben, ihren Sinn-Regeln nicht durch Gesetzgeber in Gesetzbücher konstruirt worden und denen durchsetzung der Gesetzgeber bestimmte Rechtsfolgen zuschreibt. Die Definition gab eine Möglichkeit, die bestimmten Rechtsereignissen von ZGB und Familien-Gesetzbuch als rechtsgeschäftsähnlichen Geschäften zu interpretieren. Dann untersucht man, welche Vorschriften, die vörtlich nur Rechtsgeschäften (Willenserklärungen) betreffen, kann man auch auf rechtsgeschäftsähnlichen Geschäften ausbreiten
