Nel Regno dei Paesi Bassi: il Rule of Law fa da sovrano?
No full textThe essay aims at addressing some aspects selected from the first three reports presented by the European commission on the Rule of Law situation in the Netherlands. The author follows the quadripartite topic scheme set by the Commission itself (justice system, anticorruption framework, media pluralism, and other matters considered relevant with regards to the general theme) and concludes with two brief digressions regarding facts occurred between the publication of the two reports, and that the author considers to be of great importance for their implications with the Dutch Rule of Law
Rule of law tra Unione europea e Ungheria. Una lettura a partire da Harold J. Laski
No full textThis paper enquires into the concept of “Rule of Law” utilised by the European Commission in its Report of 2020 and 2021 on Hungary, showing its relationship with some doctrines that famously devised such category. In order to achieve this, I will analyse specific aspects of the Report through Harold Laski’s political and legal theories. His works, in fact, can provide us with a useful conceptual framework for understanding the intertwinement between democratic instances in the European Union and its economic and capitalistic soul
L'approdo europeo del Rule of Law. Riflessioni introduttive e di sintesi
No full textThis paper introduces the contributions presented in a series of seminars in Pisa
dedicated to the Rule of Law and to the elaboration and application of this principle within the
European Union, with particular regard to the European Rule of Law Mechanism activated by the
European Commission as of 2020. Starting from the classical definitions of Rule of Law, the essay
attempts to deepen its contents and current meaning through the analysis of the different
formants (doctrinal, normative and jurisprudential); in the conclusions, a symptomatic
reconstruction of Rule of Law is proposed and the difficulties of its transplantation into contexts
foreign to the Western legal tradition are highlighted
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
