On recognition of foreign same-sex marriages and partnerships
No full textThe traditional problem of 'limping relationships' in private international law is emerging more and more often with regard to same-sex couples. In fact, the question of validity under the applicable choice-of-law rules is seldom raised in the State of registration of the partnership or in the State of celebration of the marriage, but can come to light when the couple moves to another country. However, it is often argued that this can amount to a violation of principles concerning fundamental rights and granting a cross-border continuity of status and familial relationships. The chapter examines in turn the type of proceedings in which the question of validity of the same-sex relationship instituted abroad can actually arise and the solutions resorted to by national courts in order to deal with that question. The chapter outlines the different attitudes of States in that connection, depending on whether they grant same-sex couples access to marriage or to civil unions only, or they do not recognise same-sex relationships as legal. The latter case obviously proves to be the most troublesome, since national courts feel forced to refuse recognition of foreign same-sex relationships, regarded either as non-existent for the lack of an essential requirement (the opposite sex of the spouses/partners) or as contrary to the public policy of the State concerned. © 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

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
