Egzotyzm, wymazywanie i złożona peryferyjność: dyscyplina Stosunków Międzynarodowych na Ukrainie w globalnej przestrzeni dyscyplinarnej
No full textDespite Ukraine’s heightened salience since 2022, its International Relations (IR) discipline remains largely absent from debates on “national IR.” This article asks why Ukrainian IR attracts so little attention and argues that self-reflexive IR structures visibility around the benchmark of cultural-civilizational exoticity, i.e., a criterion that marginalizes the Ukrainian case. To address the latter issue, the article develops the concept of “complex peripherality,” offering a more fine-grained account of how such marginalization is produced within self-reflexive discourse. Framing Ukrainian IR through this lens not only explains the scale of its neglect more fully but also identifies it as a critical case for advancing the “third-wave” sociology of IR. Finally, the article sketches a research agenda for engaging Ukrainian IR as a wartime discipline, focusing on communication practices, career trajectories, curricular adaptation, bibliometric shifts, and transnational scholarly exchanges under conditions of external shock.Mimo wzrostu zainteresowania Ukrainą po 2022 r. – także w obszarze stosunków międzynarodowych – tamtejsza dyscyplina Stosunków Międzynarodowych (SM) pozostaje w dużej mierze nieobecna w debatach o „narodowych dyscyplinach SM”. Autorzy stawiają pytanie, dlaczego rozwój SM na Ukrainie spotyka się z tak ograniczoną uwagą, i argumentują, że samorefleksyjny dyskurs dyscypliny konstruuje widoczność poszczególnych dyscyplin narodowych poprzez kryterium kulturowo-cywilizacyjnej egzotyczności. Kryterium to prowadzi do marginalizacji dyscypliny SM na Ukrainie. Aby naświetlić ten mechanizm, autorzy proponują koncepcję „złożonej peryferyjności”, która w bardziej precyzyjny sposób wyjaśnia procesy wykluczania w obrębie samorefleksyjnego dyskursu. Takie ujęcie pozwala nie tylko lepiej zrozumieć skalę pominięcia ukraińskiej dyscypliny w debatach nad „narodowymi dyscyplinami SM”, lecz także ukazuje ją jako przypadek kluczowy dla rozwoju „trzeciej fali” socjologii SM. W zakończeniu artykuł przedstawia program badawczy, który traktuje ukraińskie studia SM jako dyscyplinę czasu wojny, skupiając się na praktykach komunikacyjnych, trajektoriach kariery, adaptacji programów nauczania, zmianach bibliometrycznych oraz transnarodowej wymianie akademickiej w warunkach zewnętrznego szoku
Konstruowanie sąsiada: miejsce Ukrainy w dyscyplinie stosunków międzynarodowych na Białorusi
No full textThis article examines how Belarusian International Relations (IR) scholarship portrays Ukraine. Drawing on constructivist and sociological approaches, it argues that local academic discourse can shed light on the interplay between domestic political constraints, regional allegiances, and knowledge production. The analysis focuses on three peer-reviewed IR journals, examining articles that refer or are primarily devoted to Ukraine. While Ukraine ranks second to Russia in terms of general mentions, sustained scholarly engagement remains limited. Belarusian scholars tend to avoid sensitive topics such as the annexation of Crimea and the armed conflict in Donbas, often employing neutral language that neither criticizes Russia nor explicitly supports its position. Reference analysis reveals a strong reliance on Russian sources, though this does not necessarily reflect a pro-Russian narrative. Taken together, these patterns demonstrate how a state’s political environment shapes the scope and tone of scholarly engagement with regional developments.W artykule przeanalizowano, w jaki sposób białoruska nauka o stosunkach międzynarodowych przedstawia Ukrainę. Opierając się na podejściu konstruktywistycznym i socjologicznym, argumentujemy, że lokalny dyskurs naukowy może naświetlić wzajemne oddziaływanie między krajowymi ograniczeniami politycznymi, regionalnymi lojalnościami i tworzeniem wiedzy. Przeanalizowaliśmy trzy recenzowane czasopisma IR uznane przez Wyższą Komisję Atestacyjną Białorusi, koncentrując się na artykułach, które wyraźnie odnoszą się do Ukrainy lub koncentrują się na niej. Chociaż Ukraina zajmuje drugie miejsce po Rosji w ogólnych wzmiankach, głębokość dedykowanego zasięgu pozostaje ograniczona. Białoruscy naukowcy są ostrożni w poruszaniu drażliwych kwestii, takich jak aneksja Krymu czy rosyjsko-ukraiński konflikt zbrojny w Donbasie. Analiza dyskursu pokazuje, że białoruscy naukowcy często przyjmują neutralną terminologię, unikając wyraźnej krytyki Rosji, a jednocześnie rzadko popierając jej perspektywę. Analiza źródeł wskazuje na poleganie na źródłach rosyjskich, choć niekoniecznie przekłada się to na narracje prorosyjskie. Śledząc te wzorce, artykuł pokazuje, w jaki sposób środowisko polityczne państwa kształtuje zaangażowanie naukowców w główne wydarzenia regionalne
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
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
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
