EKSISTENZ D9.5 Core elements of a Privacy Impact Assessment of the EKSISTENZ platform
No full textThe objective of this deliverable is to provide guidance to data controllers who will consider EKSISTENZ in a production environment in assessing the impact of the system on citizens’ privacy. The deliverable is based on elements of the Privacy Impact Assessment Methodology provided by the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL) as well as the Guidelines on Data Protection Impact Assessment under the General Data Protection Regulation published by the Article 29 Working Party in April 2017, and other relevant sources.
This impact assessment should be complemented with a specific impact assessment in an organisational context whenever EKSISTENZ is being implemented in a production environment. As such, it has indicative role and outlines criteria, legal and risk-treatment controls that could help controllers meet their obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation.
The deliverable provides analysis of whether and why EKSISTENZ falls under the scope of the General Data Protection Regulation and qualifies for a mandatory data protection impact assessment. Furthermore, the document provides a brief overview of the available methodologies for privacy impact assessment and argues that a combination of the CNIL’s recognised methodology with elements of other methodologies specifically tailored for impact assessment of biometric systems, is most beneficial. The impact assessment is carried out in the form of multiple tables outlining the results of the analysis at the respective step of the methodology.
The main findings of the impact assessment are that EKSISTENZ has implemented strong data protection by design and by default measures, such as biometric template protection, anonymous tokens and weak-link architecture. In combination with sufficient organisational controls and the recommended risk-treatment controls, the majority of the risks are likely to be mitigated. The impact assessment demonstrated that the processing in the context of EKSISTENZ is likely to result in a high risk in the absence of measures taken by the controller to mitigate the risk. The existing privacy by design measures must be complemented with sufficient guarantees at an organisational level which are often context-dependent. Finally, close cooperation with the supervisory authority, as mandated by Article 36 (1) GDPR, will ensure smooth and future-proof implementation in full compliance with the requirements of the data protection law.
This deliverable draws on the analysis and outcomes of the work of EKSISTENZ Work Packages 4, 5, and 6.status: Publishe
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

No full textVariations 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
