El uso de X y su relación con las métricas de revistas científicas en Ecuador, Perú, Bolivia y Paraguay
Get PDFThe article analyzes the relationship between X management and Google Scholar metrics in 127 scientific journals indexed in SciELO Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Paraguay taking into account the respective citations. It is highlighted that only 22% of the 127 journals indexed in SciELO in the four countries had active accounts in X and Google Scholar. In addition, the correlation between X and citations in Google Scholar for scientific journals is evident. Moreover, the study found a positive correlation between the number of publications and followers in X with the number of citations in Google Scholar. Although there is a positive correlation between publications in X and citations in Google Scholar, as well as an evident increase in followers, the scientific journals of the Latin American region are not making an effective presence in social networks, or at least in X for the present study, therefore, it is suggested that a strategic communication plan be carried out to achieve the objectives of visibility
La línea tenue que une y separa: fundamentos teórico-conceptuales entre Bibliotecología Negra y Bibliotecología Antirracista
No full textThis article addresses the following question: What are the main conceptual differences and theoretical foundations between Black Librarianship and Antiracist Librarianship? With the aim of answering this question, the general objective is to present, through theoretical-epistemological reflection, the conceptual differences between Black Librarianship and Antiracist Librarianship. Methodologically, it is a basic, theoretical-reflective, and documentary study with a qualiquantitative approach, grounded in the theoretical-conceptual framework of Critical Race Theory and the field of study of Social Librarianship, Black Librarianship, Critical Librarianship, Social Librarianship, and Indigenous Librarianship. Finally, it presents Antiracist Black Librarianship as a unifying element between both perspectives
Revistas fraudulentas, clonadas y secuestradas en América Latina
No full textThe proliferation of predatory publishing affects both the dynamics of scientific communication and their mechanisms for promoting research. An emerging but under-studied issue involves fraudulent, hijacked and cloned website journals, as a fraud to appropriate expired web domains or clone webpage of legitimate journals —practices that are often not considered criminal acts in some Latin American countries. This study compiles and documents the first report about hijacked and cloned scholarly journals from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Venezuela. Based on the findings, recommendations on ethical aspects related to scientific editing are proposed for management of Latin American publishin
Algoritmos para documentos científicos: pasado y presente
Get PDFThis study offers a comprehensive overview of document-level classification algo-rithms in scientific research, proposed as an alternative to the journal-based categori-zations employed by major bibliographic databases such as Web of Science and Sco-pus. These journal-driven schemes often introduce significant inaccuracies in both in-formation retrieval and research evaluation, as they fail to categorize articles in accord-ance with their actual content.
First, we provide a historical review of the main approaches developed since the emer-gence of scientific databases, highlighting their contributions as well as their limita-tions. Automatic clustering techniques and community detection algorithms have rep-resented important advances in the organization of scientific knowledge, yet they can-not serve as a practical substitute for journal-based classifications. Other approaches, such as those relying on neural networks or text mining, face scalability issues that prevent their application at the global level of science.
The most recent and promising strategies are built upon simple algorithms that, start-ing from existing journal categorizations, reclassify articles into the same thematic hi-erarchies used by bibliographic databases, relying primarily on the analysis of straight-forward citation and reference patterns
Stillmark Theory: A Treatise on Presence, Vanishing, and the Discipline of the Fleeting
Get PDFStillmark Theory
A Treatise on Presence, Vanishing, and the Discipline of the Fleeting
By Dorian Vale
Can something fleeting leave a mark deeper than permanence?**
In this paradigm-shifting treatise, Dorian Vale presents Stillmark Theory, a foundational pillar in the Post-Interpretive Movement and a radical aesthetic philosophy that places presence above permanence, and vanishing above possession.
Stillmark is the name given to a mark that does not remain physically, but remains ethically — a residue of presence that lives on not through its duration, but through the way it demanded your attention. Like a footprint in water, or a pause in ritual, it is a mark felt rather than seen. And it asks not: what did you see? but were you there when it passed?
This treatise explores how the fleeting — the ephemeral artwork, the disappearing gesture, the unsaved voice — disciplines the viewer into reverent attention. Through philosophical engagement with ritual, silence, and the aesthetics of loss, Vale outlines how fleeting experiences, if witnessed properly, can alter perception more profoundly than enduring monuments.
Stillmark Theory is not about minimalism or aesthetic reduction. It is about ethical witnessing: the ability to stay present before something that will not wait for you to interpret it. It urges a return to encounter, to stillness, to restraint — and proposes a new mode of value: not what lasts, but what requires moral presence while it lives.
This is a crucial contribution to Post-Interpretive Criticism, and a necessary framework for curators, critics, artists, and institutions seeking to engage works of art that resist documentation, defy collection, and demand presence without possession.

Aesthetic Recursion Theory: Recursion As Residue
Get PDFAesthetic Recursion Theory: Recursion As Residue
By Dorian Vale | Museum of One
This essay introduces and formally expands the theory of Recursive Haunting, a core doctrine within the broader framework of Post-Interpretive Criticism (PIC). Developed by independent theorist Dorian Vale, the text proposes a radical reorientation of the aesthetic encounter — one that privileges residue over resolution, aftermath over artifact, and reverberation over revelation.
Drawing on the philosophical lineage of Jacques Derrida (hauntology), Cathy Caruth (trauma theory), Emmanuel Levinas (ethical proximity), and Susan Sontag (against interpretation), the essay argues that the most ethically urgent and ontologically significant dimension of an artwork may not exist in its visible form, but in the trace it leaves behind. This trace — emotional, temporal, or cognitive — becomes the primary epistemic unit of aesthetic meaning.
The essay expands the concept of the critic-as-custodian, rejecting the role of the critic as interpreter or authority. Instead, it introduces a post-interpretive ethic in which the critic’s role is to steward the lingering, to document the haunting, and to carry what cannot be proven. This paradigm shift reframes the aesthetic encounter as an unfolding — a recursive return of affect and meaning that often defies articulation, formal critique, or timely analysis.
Key theoretical concepts introduced or expanded include:
Recursive Haunting (as delayed aesthetic afterlife)
The Trace (as residue of encounter and proof of presence)
The Custodian’s Dilemma (the ethical burden of protecting invisible meaning)
Temporal Stewardship (the critic as witness to return rather than origin)
Stillmark Theory (cross-referenced, positioning encounter as art)

The Living Lexicon: Post-Interpretive Criticism – First Edition
Get PDFThe Living Lexicon: Post-Interpretive Criticism – First Edition
By Dorian Vale
Museum of One | Written at the Threshold
The Living Lexicon is the official glossary of Post-Interpretive Criticism — a literary movement that displaces interpretation in favor of presence, restraint, and custodial witnessing. It is not written to standardize, but to protect. These entries are not mere definitions; they are ethical and poetic coordinates. From Threshold to Witness, from Stillmark to Felt Proof, the lexicon outlines the sacred vocabulary of a genre committed to reverence over reading, and presence over performance.
This document anchors the critic’s posture, language, and responsibility. It guides without fixing. It names without claiming. It orients those entering the terrain so they do not mistake silence for absence, or discipline for detachment. In a critical culture flooded with noise, The Living Lexicon restores the weight of words.

Argentina es diamante: estado de situación, diagnóstico y proyección de las revistas científicas argentinas en acceso abierto
Get PDFThis presentation examines the current status, background, and challenges of Argentine scientific journals in open access, focusing on the Diamond Open Access model, which removes financial barriers for both authors and readers.
It reviews the development of national policies and infrastructures supporting open and public science —from the creation of the National System of Digital Repositories and Law 26.899 to the recent Diamond Program— and presents updated data on the national and global landscape of diamond journals.
The talk argues that diamond journals represent Argentina’s dominant model for scholarly publishing and play a key role in knowledge democratization, while facing structural sustainability challenges. It calls for stronger public policies, institutional support, and network collaboration, aligned with the principles of the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science
La biblioteca y la construcción de una cultura de alfabetización en la inteligencia artificial generativa
Get PDFArtificial Intelligence (AI) is profoundly transforming library work, from automating repetitive tasks—such as cataloging and user support through chatbots—to improving accessibility, personalized recommendations, and the digital preservation of historical documents. These tools enable more efficient and customized service management, but they also pose ethical challenges related to privacy, bias, transparency, and misinformation. Therefore, beyond simply adopting technology, libraries must take an active role in AI literacy by promoting critical thinking, continuous learning, and the responsible use of these tools. New competencies are required, such as prompt engineering, data management, and effective communication to explain AI to users. Frameworks like ACRL’s propose comprehensive training that covers both technical functioning and ethical implications. In this context, the librarian’s role is strengthened as a knowledge mediator and a guarantor of the ethical and equitable use of AI
Digital equity in higher education
Get PDFBuilding on pandemic relief and recovery programs, the United States federal government is making historic investments in advancing digital equity, literacy, and inclusion for all. An important component is the 2021 Digital Equity Act (DEA), which provides $2.75 billion over five years to promote digital equity, literacy, and inclusion initiatives at the local, state, and national levels. While past federal funding for digital equity and inclusion targeted individuals or K-12 school and public libraries, the unprecedented level of funding offered through DEA is available to libraries of all types—including community college, college, and university libraries. This chapter provides background on the legislation, enumerates the covered populations and communities, outlines potential digital inclusion activities that could be funded, and describes the process for academic libraries wishing to seek funds from state and federal sources. It describes steps taken at the national level to activate and engage librarians and advocate on behalf of libraries with the federal agency administering the funds. Additionally, since over half the funds will be spent by states, this chapter includes a discussion of consortial involvement in the state planning phase in Illinois and Louisiana. Our hope is that readers appreciate how state and federal library advocacy efforts rely on individual library involvement and understand how the DEA provides an opportunity to leverage federal funds to expand the work of academic libraries to advance digital equity for their communities. Because there is unlikely to be another opportunity like this in our lifetime to further the good work libraries are already doing, our aim is to assist librarians in seeking funds to support covered populations in their communities
