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
LEGAL STATUS OF STATE GAMBLING AUTHORITIES IN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES: prospects for Ukraine
Full text linkThis article analyzes the diversity of approaches to the organization of activities of state regulators in the field of gambling and lotteries in European countries, their common features and differences, advantages and shortcomings. Given the uniqueness of approaches to the organization of state regulation in the field of gambling and lotteries, the similarity of some conditions and principles, as well as the prospects of use in Ukraine, special attention is paid to the relevant experience of Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland and others. It has been established that the European experience of organizing the activities of the state regulator in the field of gambling and lotteries reveals significant differences in approaches to state regulation in the field of gambling business regarding legal bases, subordination, accountability, the order of formation and composition of the state regulator, the scope of its powers, etc. Despite such differences, state regulation in the field of gambling business is usually entrusted to a separate collegial state body endowed with broad regulatory, licensing, control and other powers. Conclusions are made about the expediency of applying relevant European experience in the context of improving the legal regulation of the Commission for Regulation of Gambling and Lotteries in Ukraine.This article analyzes the diversity of approaches to the organization of activities of state regulators in the field of gambling and lotteries in European countries, their common features and differences, advantages and shortcomings.

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
Estatuto jurídico das autoridades estatais de jogo nos países europeus: Perspectivas para a Ucrânia

Dada la singularidad de los enfoques para la organización de la regulación estatal en el campo de los juegos de azar y loterías, la similitud de algunas condiciones y principios, así como las perspectivas de uso en Ucrania, se presta especial atención a la experiencia relevante de Bélgica, los Países Bajos, Alemania, el Reino Unido, Francia, Suiza y otros. Se ha establecido que la experiencia europea en la organización de las actividades del regulador estatal en el campo de los juegos de azar y las loterías revela diferencias significativas en los enfoques de la regulación estatal en el campo del negocio de los juegos de azar en cuanto a las bases legales, la subordinación, la responsabilidad, el orden de formación y composición del regulador estatal, el alcance de sus competencias, etc. A pesar de estas diferencias, la regulación estatal en el campo del negocio del juego generalmente se confía a un organismo estatal colegiado independiente dotado de amplios poderes regulatorios, de concesión de licencias, de control, etc. Se extraen conclusiones sobre la conveniencia de aplicar la experiencia europea relevante en el contexto de mejorar la regulación legal de la Comisión para la Regulación de Juegos de Azar y Loterías en Ucrania.Este artigo analisa a diversidade de abordagens à organização das atividades dos reguladores estatais na área de jogos de azar e loterias nos países europeus, suas características comuns e diferenças, vantagens e deficiências.

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
