    Tesis de MaestríaLa tesis se propone comprender los procesos de innovación religiosa en comunidades religiosas afroamericanas en el ámbito del Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires y la Ciudad de Corrientes. La injerencia que el denominado tradicionalismo yoruba adquirio a principios del segundo milenio, constituyó diversas consideraciones e interpretaciones al interior, no solo de distintas comunidades religiosas afroamericanas en el país, si no también en gran parte de los sujetos religiosos. En primer lugar, nos proponemos reconstruir sus formas de ingreso y consolidación, guiados por el entramado de los vínculos entre distintos agentes religiosos transnacionales. En las figuras del líder local, sobre todo del Olúwo Ifateju y del Àràbà Àgbàyé, en tanto líder religioso global. En segundo lugar, buscamos comprender las distintas instancias que, el tradicionalismo yoruba imprime en la constitución morfológica y jerárquica de los templos, estableciendo instancias de “síntesis” de negación, complementación y/o reafirmación con las variantes religiosas prexistentes. Por último, en el análisis de los sentidos del sistema cosmológico yoruba, la incorporación de sus distintas formas de rituales y sistemas oraculares tendientes a dimensionar una la filosofía de Ifá, que interpela el accionar individual en las practica de la vida cotidiana.Fil: Carrone, Nahuel Nicolás.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The 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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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
