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
Теоретичні проблеми визначення поняття «господарська організація»
Get PDFThe concept of “economic organization” is known in the science of economic law since Soviet times. However, it did not become widespread and was used only by some scholars.
The legal status of economic organizations has not been comprehensively studied in the Ukrainian science of economic law.
The purpose of the article is to set out the theoretical problems of defining the concept of “economic organization” and to outline the directions of their solution.
The concept of “economic organization” is quite apposite to denote all the diversity of economic entities, but its usage caused a number of theoretical problems. These include problems: the relationship between the concepts of “economic organization” and “undertaking”, the status of a legal entity, the definition of organizational and legal forms of economic organizations, the distinction between commercial and non-commercial economic organizations and classification of economic organizations in general.
The definition of “economic organization” needs to be clarified taking into account the following: in the economic turnover involved some business organizations that are not legal entities; the right to carry out economic activities should have the organization, that formed in the prescribed organizational and legal form, which provides economic competence for commercial or non-commercial economic activitiesВ статье исследуется понятие «хозяйственная организация», история его закрепления в Хозяйственном кодексе Украины. Проанализированы законодательно определенные признаки хозяйственных организаций и их недостатки. Сформулированы теоретические проблемы, вызванные применением этого понятия в законодательстве. Уделено внимание проблеме организационно-правовых форм хозяйственных организаций. Определено, что сложность формулирования перечня организационно-правовых форм некоммерческих хозяйственных организаций является следствием отсутствия четкого критерия разграничения предпринимательства и некоммерческого хозяйствованияУ статті досліджено поняття «господарська організація», з’ясовано історію його закріплення у ГК України. Проаналізовано законодавчо визначені ознаки господарських організацій та їх недоліки. Сформульовано теоретичні проблеми, спричинені застосуванням цього поняття у законодавстві. Приділено увагу проблемі організаційно-правових форм господарських організацій. Визначено, що складність формулювання переліку організаційно-правових форм некомерційних господарських організацій є наслідком відсутності чіткого критерія розмежування підприємництва і некомерційного господарюванн
«М’яке право» системи регулювання корпоративних відносин
Get PDFIn modern terms, «soft law» is turning into an effective tool for regulating corporate and, in general, economic relations at the national level. International corporate governance standards serve as a benchmark for the development of corporate law in all countries of the world. The subject of «lawmaking» in this case is not a state, but an international organization that formulates and adopts recommendation acts.The problem of «soft law» in modern legal science is very popular; it is devoted to a considerable number of works of foreign and domestic scientists, in particular, G. M. Velyminov, T. M. Neshataeva, J. B. Fogelson, T. Matveeva and others. For the first time in the post-Soviet space the problem of «soft» corporate law was raised by S. O. Chekhovskaja in 2012.The purpose of the article is to define the role of «soft law» in the system of regulation of corporate relations.There are three basic approaches to understanding «soft law» in the legal science:1) «soft law» is reduced to recommendatory acts of international intergovernmental organizations;2) «soft law» covers both documents of international intergovernmental organizations, as well as non-governmental organizations, in particular, Principles of international commercial agreements of UNIDROIT, ICC acts, etc .;3) the most widespread approach, in which «soft law» is considered instruments of non-state regulation, both international and national.The greatest influence of soft law acts has been such a part of corporate relations as corporate governance relations. The «soft law» acts in the field of corporate governance include: The G20 / Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Principles of Corporate Governance 2015, Declaration on International Investments and Multinational Enterprises 1976 and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises 2011 as a component of the latter.The «soft» standards of corporate governance, which are legally non-binding in nature, due to the authority of the organization they have developed, are used by the states to reform corporate law. The paper proposes to distinguish between «soft law» acts and normative legal acts of recommendation nature, such as those approved by the decisions of the National Securities and Stock Market Commission dated July 24, 2014 No. 955 Principles of Corporate Governance.Soft law recommendations of international organizations, and OECD, in particular, have an impact both on the member states of the organization and on all other states and their private entities. Attention is drawn to the practice of voluntarily taking States' international obligations to comply with soft law. So, Ukraine is in accordance with Clause «c» of Part 1 of Art. 387 of the Association Agreement with the EU has committed itself to further developing corporate governance policies in line with international standards, namely the OECD Principles.Voluntary compliance with international corporate governance standards of corporations interested in good business reputation and increasing its competitiveness leads to the formation of corporate business practices in corporate relations.Today «soft law» defines the vector of development of corporate relations at the national level, and also serves as a tool for harmonization of national laws of different countries of the world. Soft law regulates corporate relations indirectly - through the influence on the development of national legislation, as well as directly - through the voluntary introduction by corporations of international standards in local regulations statutes, regulations, principles (codes) of corporate governance, as well as the formation of international commercial usages.В статье рассматриваются сложившиеся в юридической науке подходы к феномену «мягкое право». Определяется роль рекомендательных актов международных организаций в системе регулирования корпоративных отношений, в частности, отношений корпоративного управления, на национальном уровне.Розглянуто висловлені в юридичній науці погляди на феномен «м’якого права». Визначається роль рекомендаційних актів міжнародних організацій у системі регулювання корпоративних відносин, зокрема відносин корпоративного управління, на національному рівні
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
