“…15:2 proving higher similarity of the decisions connected with citations than the decisions similar according to the cosine similarity. 58 On the other hand, our conclusions suggest that not all the cited decisions are relevant when it comes to considering the legal issue. Therefore, a recommendation system based only on the citations might retrieve a set of decisions only with low precision.…”

“…28 Moreover, the details on how to use past case-law in judicial decision--making in continental legal settings differ from system to system, ranging from a prohibition 29 to overt resemblance of a precedential system. 30 In systems, where the role of case law seems to be rather fluid, such as the Czech legal system, the textbooks usually try to paint a picture of a continental type of case-law -'judikatura' -as something different from precedent. 31 Nevertheless, the theory borrows doctrine-of-precedent terms such as ratio decidendi or obiter dictum, making 'judikatura' seem conceptually closely related to precedent.…”

Some of the recent network citation analyses that in continental legal settings have suggested that the most cited decisions (in terms of network citation analysis those with the highest indegree, or authority score) tend to be related to procedural issues, or issues of a more general nature, capable of being referred to in a more varied situations. While it may seem intuitive that decisions with the highest indegree centrality or authority score would settle issues of a more general nature, hence making them more widely applicable to various kinds of subsequent cases, we were wondering, whether this trend would be noticeable in less exposed decisions. To this end, we have conducted a case study within the boundaries of the Czech legal system. We have chosen five decisions containing a chosen keyword based on their indegree centrality in a corpus of Czech apex courts’ decisions. Subsequently, we have constructed eleven strings of decisions (connected to one another by a citation) leading to these five decisions, again paying attention to their indegree. We theorize that the decisions with higher indegree centrality as well as decisions with higher authority score will be cited in situations seeking a case-law argument for either procedural issue, or an issue of a more general nature, or an issue of principle, while the decisions with low indegree centrality or low authority score will be cited for their substantive law merit. This paper seeks to demonstrate how the network analysis in combination with a qualitative approach may serve as a useful approach in further exploring this hypothesis. We show that the actual citation environment in Czech legal setting might be more complex than this hypothesis suggests, but that this methodological approach may be further useful in exploring the normative nature of judicial decisions in non-precedential legal settings.

“…Keterampilan sitasi dan parafrase menjadi keterampilam utama dalam menulis ilmiah (Buckley, 2015;Wagh & Anand, 2017). Parafrase adalah sebuah keterampilan memahami, menangkap, dan mensitesa makna dari sumber bacaan, dimana penulis harus mengutamakan poin atau ide yang terkandung dari kalimat asal kemudian disampaikan dengan menggunakan kalimat penulis sendiri (Hirvela & Du, 2013).…”

Gatrell, et.al, and School Graduate wrote books containing how to write for a thesis, and dissertation. A book titled A Research Design and Proposal Writing in Spatial Science, Second Edition by Gatrell, et.all has a simple and complete explanation so that it is easy to understand and apply to final writing. Also, the book is supplemented with examples of several interesting titles to be the reference of the research authors, by explaining direct examples in explain background writing, survey libraries, research methods, how to explain the data used quantitative or qualitative to how to manage data correctly. The book How to Prepare Thesis Proposal A Guide for MPhil and PhD Students by School Graduates only explains the general lines of the chapters contained in a thesis. It was concluded that the book written by Gatrell, et.al was more dynamic in accordance with the needs of today’s academics since it also provides the components of crafting research grant fund proposal.
