The requester may then choose one chapter, up to 10% of the item, as per the Fair Dealing provision of the Canadian Copyright ActThrough skills diffusion and capacity building, the Feminist Tech Exchange (FTX) aimed to empower women’s rights organisations, advocates and feminists sidelined in the growth of the global digital commons. This report reviews activities, outcomes, and outputs of the workshops and training sessions. The Exchange responds to the expressed needs of feminist and women’s rights movements for greater understanding of emerging ICT and its applications. The FTX online website is envisaged as a sustained community space for FTX trainers, facilitators and participants. See the current (2020) website https://www.apc.org/en/project/feminist-tech-exchang

No full textFeminismen in translokalen Frauennetzwerken
Full text link"Translokale Netzwerke von Frauenorganisationen stehen vor der Herausforderung, mit den nationalen und kulturellen Unterschieden ihrer Mitglieder umzugehen. Dies gilt insbesondere für die verschiedenen feministischen Normen, die sich soziokulturell unterscheiden. Welche Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten sind im Hinblick auf feministische Normen in translokalen Netzwerken von Frauenorganisationen zu finden? Wie gehen die Beteiligten mit den Unterschieden um? Und wie werden feministische Ziele in Regionen verfolgt, in denen Feminismus abgelehnt wird? Diese Fragen wurden in einer qualitativen Studie an einem Fallbeispiel eines translokalen Netzwerks von Frauenorganisationen analysiert: dem Association for Progressive Communications Women's Networking Support Programme, einem Netzwerk von über 175 Frauen und Frauenorganisationen, die in 35 Ländern (überwiegend mit geringem Einkommen) verortet sind und das Ziel der Geschlechtergerechtigkeit verfolgen." (Autorenreferat)"Translocal networks of women's organisations have to deal with the national and cultural differences of their members. Especially differences between feminist norms, which vary among socio-cultural contexts, are challenging. Which similarities and differences can be found in translocal networks of women's organisations regarding feminist norms? How do the actors involved deal with these differences? And how are feminist goals pursued in regions, where feminism is rejected? These questions have been studied in a qualitative study, in which the Association for Progressive Communications Women's Networking Support Programme was analysed, a network of more than 175 women and women's organisations, which share the aim of gender equity and are located in 35 (mainly low income) countries."

Implementation of a business development strategy, association for progressive communications : technical report, 10 June 2010 – 10 February 2012
No full textThe report details steps taken to implement and develop The Association for Progressive Communications Women's Networking Support Programme (APC WNSP) Gender Evaluation Methodolgy (GEM). The programme facilitates learning about information and communication technologies (ICTs) for gender equality. GEM provides a systematic method to evaluate whether ICTs are improving women's lives and gender-power relations. The amount of work and income from consultancies that APC staff completed increased by about 10% (2010 to 2011). GEM and women's rights-related consultancies made up about 30% while the rest were consultancies related to access, internet infrastructure, and internet rights
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
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
