Insights into the daily life of Le Corbusier: the Agendas in the Fondation Le Corbusier
Full text link[EN] The resources available for research at the Fondation Le Corbusier are many and varied. Among these, the agendas (diaries) offer particularly intriguing insights into the public and private life of Le Corbusier. These diaries present a number of difficulties to the researcher: the notes are often difficult to read and even more difficult to interpret. The organisation of the diaries has to be understood. The pages of the diaries are undated. Establishing the approximate dates for each page presents a challenge that can only be overcome by reference to a wide range of other documentation. This paper offers suggestions for how to analyse and interpret this difficult material. With a number of worked examples, an indication is given of some of the insights that can be obtained from mining this data.[ES] Los recursos disponibles para la investigación en la Fundación Le Corbusier son muchos y variados.

Parmi elles, les agendas proposent des indications intéressantes et révélatrices sur la vie privée et publique de Le Cobusier. Ces documents présentent, par contre, des difficultés au chercheur(e). La lecture n'est pas facile et encore plus difficile à interpreter. Les feuillets ne portent pas de dates, comme un agenda normal. Attribuer une date à chaque page nécessite une recherche complexe dans la documentation de la Fondation.

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
Microcosm experiments can inform global ecological problems
No full textGlobal-scale environmental problems are rarely regarded as amenable to traditional scientific experiment. We argue here that small-scale experiments using ‘model organisms’ in microcosms or mesocosms can be a useful approach for apparently intractable global problems, such as ecosystem responses to climate change or managing biodiversity through the design of nature reserves. An experimental, small-scale research programme can easily be coupled with the development of theory and act as a stimulus to further research, thereby hastening both understanding of the issues and development of practical solutions. This process – from microcosm experiment to the development of practical application – has previously been influential but also has a long time lag. We suggest short-cuts in an attempt to stimulate the use of small-scale experiments to address globally urgent issues with meaningful policy implications
