Objective: Analyze, synthesize and categorize the studies published on El Cielo Biosphere Reserve (RBC), Tamaulipas.
Design/methodology/approach: The methodology focused on the search, classification, and review of existing sources in the SCOPUS database from the perspective of the knowledge base. The study covered 37 publications that were analyzed considering scientific mapping in four dimensions: size, time, space, and composition. The analyses were performed using the Bibliometrix and Biblioshiny software tools.
Results: It was found that the reviewed publications address biodiversity studies from a disciplinary approach and from an ecological perspective, which produces a fragmented knowledge of the territory and its problems.
Limitations on study/implications: It is recognized that there may be publications that do not appear in the Scopus database
Findings/conclusions: Knowledge about the El Cielo Biosphere Reserve is fragmented, with a disciplinary approach and from an ecological perspective. The lack of a critical mass of researchers to generate useful knowledge was observed. A weak intellectual structure was also found, which generates a reduced contribution to the conservation of biodiversity. The original contribution of this paper is the synthesis of the current state of knowledge about biodiversity conservation of the El Cielo Biosphere Reserve, which had not been performed previously

Formación en creatividad e innovación: estudiando las percepciones y prácticas de los jóvenes emprendedores locales
No full textIntroducción. Las empresas mexicanas, y en particular las pymes, han venido padeciendo de un alto estancamiento en su competitividad y productividad, así como de una deficiente destreza para la gestión de actividades innovadoras. Esto se traduce en la necesidad de promover la adecuada formación de personas con habilidades críticas, creativas y con capacidad para tomar decisiones y resolver problemas. Objetivo. En este artículo se presentan los resultados de una investigación que se realizó con el objetivo de conocer las percepciones y prácticas empresariales enfocadas en el estímulo de la creatividad y la innovación. Método. Los participantes fueron cincuenta y cinco jóvenes emprendedores de Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, México. Se aplicó un cuestionario que aportó datos sobre los siguientes aspectos: creatividad en la empresa, perfil de una persona creativa, origen de la creatividad, barreras de la creatividad, capacitación y desarrollo creativo del personal, prácticas promovidas en la empresa y estímulos a la creatividad. Resultados. Los resultados muestran que los empresarios son conscientes de la importancia de la creatividad para ellos, sus empleados y sus empresas. Estos hallazgos permiten caracterizar la situación actual de las empresas iniciadas por jóvenes emprendedores, así como también conocer los retos que enfrentan. Conclusiones. Los empresarios conocen los beneficios de la creatividad y la innovación en el ambiente empresarial; sin embargo, todavía existen áreas de oportunidad que permitirán entenderlas y explotarlas mejor. Para lograr este objetivo se requiere de un proceso continuo de capacitación y concientización que fortalezca en los jóvenes sus capacidades creativas e innovadoras
Territorios rurales en transición: navegando entre desafíos y oportunidades
Get PDFHumans have interacted with nature for millennia, but we often exclude ourselves from ecosystems. This study on Palmillas, Tamaulipas, analyses the interaction challenges between rural communities and nature, especially in protected areas. A mixed qualitative and quantitative approach was used to identify tensions arising from the community's inclusion in the Monarch Butterfly Natural Reserve. Findings highlight stagnant population growth due to youth migration, increased pressure on natural resources, and the value of traditional knowledge. Although the Monarch Butterfly Natural Protected Area promotes conservation, it also imposes restrictions that affect the traditional activities of local communitiesLos humanos hemos interactuado con la naturaleza durante milenios, pero a menudo nos excluimos de los ecosistemas. Este estudio sobre Palmillas, Tamaulipas, analiza los desafíos de la interacción entre comunidades rurales y la naturaleza, particularmente en áreas protegidas. Con un enfoque mixto, cualitativo y cuantitativo, se identificaron tensiones derivadas de la inclusión del municipio en el Área Natural Protegida de la Mariposa Monarca. Los hallazgos destacan el crecimiento poblacional estancado debido a la migración juvenil, el aumento de la presión sobre los recursos naturales, y el valor de los conocimientos tradicionales. Aunque el Área Natural Protegida de la Mariposa Monarca promueve la conservación, también impone restricciones que impactan las actividades tradicionales de las comunidades locale

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
