Does the Intelligence Cycle Still Exist
No full textThe author of this study has been dealing with this topic for several years. He raises
the following right questions: does the intelligence cycle still exist, how did the intelligence
cycle develop and change, what are the real elements of this cycle, which is the content of the
request for information (RFI), what are the reasons for the rivalry between the information
collectors and the analysts, who are the main critics of the intelligence cycle, what is the
essence of their criticism, what are the contradictions between the political decision makers
and the analysts. The author answers all these questions and draws the final conclusion that
although the intelligence cycle functions in a different way in theory and in practice, there is
still a need for the cycle to produce good intelligence products and provide the personnel with
an efficient intelligence training
Intelligence Analysis
No full textIn this brief study the author – who teaches the intelligence analysis at the National
University of Public Service – elaborates the basics of intelligence analysis, and gives an
overview of the analysing activity. The study concludes that the intelligence analysis is a
science-based assessment of a theoretical activity, and the problem solving is in its focus

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
The Education of Military Intelligence Analysis in Hungary
Full text linkThe author presents the education of military intelligence analysis in the last four decades, which he divided into three periods. These periods well illustrate the stages of development of intelligence analysis in Hungary. The result of this development process is the current education of military intelligence analysis, as the three periods are built on each other. Nowadays, the education of intelligence analysis takes place at the Institute of National Security of the National University of Public Service. This education-based program was approved in 2012 and later accredited. This program already presents the intelligence analysis in a complex way, and it is not just about analysing information and making reports, but about the complex problem-solving activities. The development of the current education began in 2009, but it is still going on because it needs to constantly adapt to the current development of theory and practice of intelligence analysis. The study presents the main elements of the education of intelligence analysis, as well as provides a future perspective on the direction in which the theory of intelligence analysis work needs to develop.The author presents the education of military intelligence analysis in the last four decades, which he divided into three periods.

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
