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 current trends in the Czech-Chinese trade relations and prospects for their further development
No full textThe thesis deals with the current trends in the Czech-Chinese trade relations. The first chapter deals with the development of the Chinese economy in the new millennium after its entry into the WTO, through dealing with the consequences of the economic crisis to Chinese priorities and objectives within the current 12th five-year plan. The second chapter describes the development of mutual Czech-Chinese trade in goods and services from the beginning of the 21st century, including the current situation. In the third part, the thesis informs the potential Czech enterprises about the business environment of the PRC, its perspective sectors and regions, the Czech institutional support or possible forms of entry to the Chinese market. In the practical part, the thesis analyzes the business of the Czech company Linet in the People's Republic of China, whose experiences are compared with the theoretical work. The end of the third chapter deals with the prospects for mutual business relations between the Czech Republic and the PRC, which the author of the thesis sees mainly at EU or Central and Eastern Europe macro-region level
Chinese accession to WTO and its trade disputes in the field of WTO.
No full textPráce je zaměřena na vstup ČLR do WTO a zároveň popisuje vybrané obchodní spory řešené na půdě WTO. Nejprve se práce zabývá historickým podtextem hospodářských změn, díky kterým se ČLR stala členem WTO a postupně i světovou ekonomickou velmocí. Poskytuje zevrubný popis historie a principy fungování GATT a Světové obchodní organizace. Práce hodnotí důvody, které vedly Čínu k žádosti o přijetí do WTO. Dále zkoumá čínské závazky, vyplývající z tohoto členství a rozebírá důsledky jejího vstupu pro ostatní státy. Pomocí hlavních makroekonomických ukazatelů je v práci analyzována ekonomická situace ČLR před vstupem do WTO a po roce 2001. Závěrem práce jsou poskytnuty vybrané obchodní spory ČLR s ostatními členy, přičemž tato část práce slouží k podtrhnutí praktického významu tohoto tématu.The thesis is focused on Chinese accession to WTO and at the same time describes certain trade disputes in the field of WTO.

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
The current trends in the Czech-Chinese trade relations and prospects for their further development
No full textDiplomová práce se zabývá aktuálními trendy v česko-čínských obchodních vztazích. První kapitola se věnuje vývoji čínské ekonomiky v novém miléniu od jejího vstupu do WTO, přes vypořádávání se s následky hospodářské krize až po čínské priority a cíle v rámci aktuálního 12. pětiletého plánu.
