La Démocratie à l’épreuve de la gouvernance
No full textPour le profane, la gouvernance fait d'abord penser au fonctionnement des organisations, ou des institutions, et à la distribution du pouvoir dans ces structures. Le jargon dans ce domaine nous vient des spécialistes de la gestion des organisations, des sciences administratives et de la sociologie urbaine. Toutefois, en devenant de plus en plus un domaine privilégiant tant les analyses du politique que de la société, le thème de la gouvernance se révèle porteur d'une nouvelle ambition : celle de se présenter comme une solution de rechange à l'organisation du pouvoir. Le projet d'une nouvelle gouvernance distribuée se présente dorénavant comme une réponse aux transformations en cours du politique dans les sociétés démocratiques. La démocratie à l'épreuve de la gouvernance propose une réflexion dynamique et innovatrice sur l'idée de la gouvernance. Regroupés autour d'un texte central de Gilles Paquet, treize chercheurs émérites apportent des perspectives variées et stimulantes qui invitent le lecteur à mener une réflexion riche et nuancée
Le conservatisme
No full textComment comparer le Canada avec les États-Unis aujourd'hui ? C'est la question centrale de cet ouvrage qui met en dialogue 13 contributions écrites par des américanistes et des canadianistes, dans une perspective interdisciplinaire. Les domaines d'investigation, regroupés en trois grands pôles de réflexion - politique, espace, et migration - se situent pour la plupart à la croisée de plusieurs champs : économie, politique, droit, anthropologie, sociologie, histoire des idées, histoire de l'immigration, de l'urbanisme, et littérature. Il s'agit de cerner à nouveau, dans le contexte actuel de la mondialisation, les lignes de fond qui soustendent les intérêts parfois disparates des comparatistes qui rapprochent deux pays dont la relation est inégale
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
La recherche sur les femmes francophones vivant en milieu minoritaire : un questionnement sur le féminisme
No full textL'auteure de ce texte s'intéresse au questionnement féministe qui caractérise le discours sur les femmes vivant en milieu francophone minoritaire ou hors Québec depuis les années 1970 et 1980. Elle le resitue dans son contexte sociopolitique d'émergence et tente d'en analyser les fondements politiques et théoriques. Elle accordera une attention toute particulière aux notions de double et de triple infériorité ainsi qu'à celle de production d'ethnicité. L'auteure tente ainsi de faire éclater une certaine vision dualiste qui caractérise les mouvements des femmes au Canada et au Québec et leur questionnement féministe. Enfin, elle propose une articulation des rapports sociaux de sexe qui adopterait, comme point de départ, l'expérience des femmes au sein des sphères publique et privée.The author of this text examines the feminist discourse on Francophone women living in minority situations or living outside Quebec since the 1960's and 1970's. The author's objective is to analyse the political and theoritical foundations of this discourse.Particular attention is given to the notions of double and triple discrimination and to the production of ethnicity. The text situates the construction of this feminist discourse in the socio-political context of minority Francophone women's groups and doing so tries to break down a certain dualist vision which characterizes the women's movements in Canada and Quebec and their feminist questioning. Finally the author proposes a formulation of gender relations which adopt, as a starting point, the experience of women in public and private spheres
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
