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
ضمانات «مبدأ عدم تجريد المواطن من جنسيته تعسفاً» في قوانين دول مجلس التعاون الخليجي
Get PDFتتناول هذه الدراسة «مبدأ عدم تجريد المواطن من جنسيته تعسفًا »، الذي نُص عليه في الإعلان
العالمي لحقوق الإنسان، وفي العديد من الاتفاقيات الإقليمية. ويرى الباحث أن هذا المبدأ لا يمكن أن
يؤتي ثماره في الواقع العملي إلا إذا اقترن بمجموعة من الضمانات.
تتمثل هذه الضمانات في تحديد حالات التجريد من الجنسية بأداة تشريعية لا تقل عن «قانون ،»
وأن تبين هذه الحالات على وجه التحديد والدقة، وألا يُبنى التجريد تشريعًا أو ممارسةً على التمييز
بين الأفراد لأسباب تتعلق بالجنس أو الدين أو العرق أو الطائفة أو اللون أو الرأي السياسي أو غيرها.
كما تتمثل هذه الضمانات في أن يكون قرار التجريد من الجنسية شخصيًّا، لا يتعدى من صدر في
حقه إلى غيره من أبنائه أو زوجته، وأخيرًا، أن يكون القرار الصادر بالتجريد من الجنسية مكتوبًا
ومسببًا، وقابلًا للطعن فيه أمام جهة قضائية مستقلة ومحايدة.
حاول الباحث في هذه الدراسة أن يبرز مفهوم كل ضمانة من ضمانات مبدأ عدم تجريد المواطن
من جنسيته تعسفًا، ثم بحث في تشريعات دول مجلس التعاون الخليجي الناظمة لأحكام الجنسية
عن مدى كفالتها لمثل تلك الضمانات. وقد وجد في تشريعات الجنسية في دول المجلس العديد
من الأمثلة على عدم توافقها مع هذه الضمانات، كعدم حصر حالات التجريد على وجه الدقة،
واتساعها أمام إدراج أفعال غير متناهية من خلال عبارات فضفاضة كالمصلحة العامة ومصلحة
الدولة والإضرار بمصالح البلاد وغيرها. كما وجد مثالًا نادرًا على حالة تجريد بُنيت على التمييز كسحب
الجنسية في حال ارتداد الشخص عن دينه. أما بشأن شخصية التجريد وعدم تعديه إلى غيره ممن يتبعه،
فلم تكتفِ بعض تشريعات المجلس بقصر هذا الأمر على حالة الحصول على الجنسية عن طريق الغش
والتزوير، بل تجاوزته لتسحب الجنسية ممن تحققت في شأنه حالات أخرى أيضًا. وأخيرًا لا تشترط تشريعات
دول المجلس تسبيب قرارات سحب الجنسية أو إسقاطها، كما أن بعض هذه التشريعات نص صراحة على
عدم اختصاص المحاكم بنظر المسائل المتعلقة بالجنسيةThis article deals with the principle of “arbitrary denaturalization of citizens” as stipulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and in many regional conventions. The author believes that this principle can only be realized in practice if accompanied by a set of guarantees.
These guarantees are to identify denaturalization cases with a legislative instrument that is no less than the law, to specifically and accurately identify such cases, and for legislation not to be created based on
discriminating practices of individuals on the grounds of sex, religion, race, sect, color, political opinion or
other such reasons. These guarantees should also ensure that a denaturalization decision should remain
individual and not exceed the targeted person to include other family members such as spouses and
children. Finally, the denaturalization decision should be written and justified and challengeable before an
independent and impartial judicial body.
The author attempted to highlight the concept of every guarantee of the principle of arbitrary
denaturalization of a citizen. The legislations of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states governing
the provisions of naturalization were then examined to determine the extent of such guarantees. In the
naturalization legislations of GCC states, there are many examples of incompatibility with these guarantees,
such as the lack of precise definition of denaturalization conditions, which can result from countless causes. Definitions of denaturalization conditions are loosely phrased, such as violations to public interest, the state’s interests, the country’s interests, etc. A rare case of denaturalization recorded based on discrimination was for a person who renounced his religion. As for the individualism of denaturalization and that it should not include subordinates of the targeted person, some GCC legislations do not restrict this to cases of fraudulent or forged naturalization; the move applies to people denaturalized for other reasons. Finally, legislations of GCC states do not require justifying decisions to withdraw or nullify naturalization; some of these legislations expressly state that courts do not have jurisdiction over matters relating to naturalization
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
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
