No full textThe Sulphur Directive and Stakeholders of Estonia’s Maritime Sector
No full textThe paper examines Estonia’s maritime sector from the point of view of its stakeholders and their strategic choices regarding several critical issues. Business activities of maritime sector are dependent on public services and regulations on safety, security related services and regulations, environmental conditions related issues, and the sulphur emission regulation which will be introduced from 2015, as the most recent example. One impact of this dependence is that a big number of different stakeholders are involved and would like to see their values and preferences are brought into governance process. The paper provides a structured overview of these stakeholders and their position in governance issues
Estonia's Maritime Sector Stakeholders and their Reaction Patterns

Business activities of maritime sector are dependent on public services and regulations like safety and security related services and regulations, environmental conditions related issues, the sulphur emission regulation which will be introduced from 2015, giving the most recent example One impact of this dependence is that a big number of different stakeholders are involved and would like to see their values and preferences followed in governance process. The paper provides a structured overview of these stakeholders and about their position in governance issues

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
Trends, Practices, and Sources
No full textThis paper is a case study of an open
small economy whose development and growth is based largely
on foreign trade and foreign direct investment (FDI). One
purpose of the paper is to uncover the causes that have
created such a development pattern. Estonia is a former
socialist economy, part of the Former Soviet Union (FSU),
which introduced comprehensive structural and institutional
reforms in the 1990s. The country's transition to a
market economy has been enhanced by integration with the
European Union (EU), which was very important in evolution
of institutions. Other research in this paper concerns the
role of external anchors upon economic development; that is,
mandates that reflect the values, objectives, and aims of a
socioeconomic alliance, and which also frame Estonia's
economic policy. One conclusion of the paper is that the EU
integration process played an important role in creating and
supporting development of a liberal, private sector-based
market economy. Implementation of the rules, standards, and
norms helped to increase the competitiveness of Estonian
companies by improving market access to the EU and other
markets. The external anchor concept is related to the
international agents. A critical factor for future
development and structural changes will be transforming
Estonia from a transition economy to an innovation economy.
The paper examines the role of the information and
communication technology (ICT) sector and Skype in this
development. The case of Skype demonstrates the much wider
impact of the new telecommunication technology on society.
Estonia's development in this field is empirical
evidence that location, production, technology, and timing
along with external anchors represent a catalyst for change
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
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
