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
CROATIAN JUDICIARY IN THE NINETIES: FROM INDEPENDENCE TO INSTITUTIONAL CRISIS
Full text linkAutor razmatra ulogu i položaj sudaca u Hrvatskoj nakon demokratskih promjena iz 1990. i državnopravnog osamostaljenja iz 1991. godine. Tri su događaja utjecala na položaj i ulogu sudaca; politička neovisnost (formiranje nacionalne države), izvanredno (ratno i poluratno) stanje, i promjene u političkom i pravnom sustavu. Autor smatra da standardna pravnopozitivistička metoda, koja je opravdana u dobro uređenim i stabilnim društvima, nije dokraja prihvatljiva za deskripciju društava u tranziciji. Iz tog razloga on u ovome radu pored normativnih modela daje i sumarni prikaz stvarne prakse koja odudara od zamišljenog stanja. Prikazani su glavni događaji unutar dvaju razdoblja, koji se označavaju kao godine rata (1991.-1995.) i godine mira (1996.-1999.). Autor razmatra i trenutni društveni i institucionalni položaj sudova i sudaca te upozorava na neke potencijalne izvore problema za nadolazeće reformatore.The author looks into the role and the position of judges in Croatia following the democratic changes of 1990 and Croatia’s recognition as an independent state of 1991. Three events affected the status and the role of judges: (1) political independence (the formation of a nation-state), (2) state of emergency (war and semiwar), and (3) the changes in the political and the legal system. The author claims that the standard legal/positivist methods, justified in well-ordered and stable societies, are not entirely suitable for transitional societies. Besides the normative models he also provides a brief review of the practice, which deviates from the ideal. The author refers to the major events within the two periods: the wartime years (1991-1995) and the peacetime years (1996-1999). The author talks about the current social and institutional position of the courts and the judges, and points to certain potential sources of troubles for the future reformers
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
Pravo na javni prosvjed i mirno okupljanje uz osvrt na praksu Europskog suda za ljudska prava u Strasbourgu
No full textAutor interpretacijom domaćih pravnih pravila, pravnih pravila vezanih za slobodu prava na javno okupljanje u Republici Sloveniji, Saveznoj Republici Njemačkoj i Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu (Engleskoj), te međunarodnih pravnih pravila utvrđenih u međunarodnim i europskim dokumentima o ljudskim pravima daje opći pregled uređenja predmetnog prava u navedenim zemljama, odnosno aktima i dokumentima.
Normativno istraživanje bi trebalo pokazati u kojoj mjeri je Zakon o javnom okupljanju usklađen s pravnim standardima temeljenim na međunarodnim aktima, praksi Europskog suda za ljudska prava u Strasbourgu, uređenjima prava na okupljanje u komparativnom pravu i što bi se moglo inkorporirati u domaće pravo
