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
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
NEW RULES OF LICENSING THE PERFORMANCE OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
No full textThis article presents new legal solutions concerning licensing the performance of business
activities regulated in the Polish Business Activity Law Act of 19 November 1999. At the beginning,
the author defines the scope of licensing, pointing out its limitations in comparison with the
previous state, and analysing regulations which define terms and conditions for making new licenses
legally binding.
She evaluates performing the duty imposed on the legislator in article 98 section 1 of the
Polish Business Activity Law Act, which concerns defining in separate acts the scope and conditions
for performing the business activity and the legal consequences o f a failure to fulfil this duty.
A considerable part o f the article refers to such procedural issues as legal regulations concerning
refusal to issue a license, a revocation or alteration of a license. The author evaluates these
legal solutions, underlying the changes introduced by the legislator in comparison to the previously
binding regulations. She analyses institutions that so far have been unknown in the license
proceedings, such as the preliminary control institution and the administrative trial institution
applied in a situation when the body intends to issue a limited number of licenses. She also points
out solutions concerning the possibility to revoke a license. On the basis of an analysis of legal
regulations as well as views presented in publications and judicial decisions, she characterizes
legal decisions concerning licensing. The author pays a lot of attention to the position o f the licensing
body in the license proceedings. Therefore, she analyses article 16 section 1 of the Polish
Business Activity Law Act, according to which it is the licensing body that specifies the terms and
conditions for performing a business activity which is subject to licensing. The author points out
the differences between the act on business activity dated 1988 and the Polish Business Activity
Law Act with respect to the way in which the licensing body is bound with the promise.
Another issue discussed in the article concerns the validity of a license issued still before the
Polish Business Activity Law Act came into force. At this point she also discusses licenses issued
to civil partnerships
Ograniczenie wolności działalności gospodarczej w drodze rozporządzenia w dobie pandemii COVID-19
No full textThe article deals with regulations as the legal basis for introducing restrictions on the freedom of economic activity during the COVID-19 pandemic. The author analyzes the relationship between art. 22 and 31 sec. 3 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland and indicates the understanding of the terms “restriction” and “reglamentation” of the freedom of economic activity in science and in the judicature.Artykuł dotyczy rozporządzenia jako podstawy prawnej wprowadzania ograniczeń wolności działalności gospodarczej w czasie pandemii COVID-19.

Koncepcja ciągu działań prawnych w publicznym prawie gospodarczym (wybrane zagadnienia)
No full textThe author characterises the concept of a series of legal actions indicating its basic features and application in the legal sciences. He supplements this concept with a “set of implementing actions” and “idea of complex actions in administration”, recognising that they form a coherent concept, which is reflected in a number of actions taken under public economic law.Autorka dokonuje charakterystyki koncepcji ciągu działań prawnych, wskazując jej pod-stawowe cechy oraz zastosowanie w naukach prawnych. Koncepcję tę uzupełnia o „układ działań realizujących” oraz „ideę działań złożonych w administracji”, uznając, że tworzą one spójną kon-cepcję, której odzwierciedleniem jest zespół działań podejmowanych na gruncie publicznego prawa gospodarczego

This mentioned research has been conducted due to cooperation between Department of Public Economic Law at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań and Department of Public Economic Law at Wrocław University.The author points out that PPP contracts are concluded in many different legal ways. To mention the Act of 9 January 2009 on the licenses on public constructions or services, or the Act of 29 January 2009 on public procurement.The Act of 19 December 2008 on PPP, Art. 4 sec. 3, provides for apossibility of choosing the way of concluding of aPPP contract by the public party. However, that must be conducted in amanner that guarantees free and fair economic competition, transparency and proportionality. The way of choosing private partner depends on the mode of payment for the goods or services. Moreover, it directly determines the means and the scope of control over the PPP contract. Generally, the PPP contracts are overseen by the regular courts. The administrative courts may only verify the choice in terms of the best bid economic efficiency. The article touches upon problems of the definition of PPP and the legal characteristics of the PPP contract as such. In this mentioned area the author presents both the doctrine and the judicature under the 2009 Act on PPP.LEGAL CLASSIFICATION OF THE PRIVATE-PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP CONTRACT IN THE LIGHT OF ADMINISTRATIVE COURTS’ JUDICATUREThis article is acontinuation of Professor Bożena Popowska’s research started in 2006 on private-public partnership PPP.

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
