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
R v Khawaja and the Fraught Question of Rehabilitation in Terrorism Sentencing
Get PDFIn R v Khawaja, Supreme Court of Canada addressed the question of how courts should handle the sentencing of terrorism offenders. Although it affirmed the Ontario Court of Appeal’s decision to raise the sentence imposed by the trial judge, the Supreme Court took a different approach to the importance of rehabilitation as a goal in terrorism sentencing generally. The Court of Appeal found that because of terrorism’s unique and serious nature, there should be very little consideration of the possibility of rehabilitation. The Supreme Court disagreed, ruling that the weight to be placed on rehabilitation in such cases should be left to trial judges and that, depending on the facts, rehabilitation could be a significant factor even in the context of very serious terror offences.
The author reviews the history of R v Khawaja, contrasting the Supreme Court’s decision with the approach of the Ontario Court of Appeal both in Khawaja and in a number of other cases. He reviews the British and Australian jurisprudence drawn on by the Court of Appeal, which looks on terrorism as a distinct type of crime that calls only for an emphasis on deterrence and punishment in sentencing, and argues that the Supreme Court’s decision indicates a significantly different attitude to the issue. Khawaja allows for rehabilitation to potentially factor into the sentencing of terrorism offenders. The author further considers this decision though the lens Antony Duff’s theory of punishment, which suggests that the concepts of moral agency, equality and the possibility of individual redemption are foundational to a sense of political community. He argues that the Supreme Court’s decision constitutes an implicit affirmation of Duff’s view on the importance of the goal of rehabilitation even for the worst offenders.Peer reviewedPost-prin

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
