Ferreira de Castro, personagem
No full textEl trabajo consiste en la identificación de las imágenes producidas sobre el escritor Ferreira de Castro, y el análisis de cómo estas imágenes pueden haber interferido en la recepción de su obra más famosa, A Selva. En primer lugar, vamos a celebrar un debate sobre el estado de la crítica sobre A Selva, en Portugal, centrándonos en el período comprendido entre 1930, cuando el libro fue publicado, hasta 1974, año de la muerte del escritor. Los textos biográficos y críticos publicados en este período buscan en la vida del escritor la explicación de su obra, estableciendo relaciones entre las instancias de autor y personaje, que cristalizan las interpretaciones sobre la narrativa, lo que resulta en asociaciones entre Alberto, el protagonista de A Selva, y Ferreira de Castro. En esta investigación, vamos a pensar como la construcción promovida por el escritor y sus críticos y biógrafos influye en la recepción de la obra. Por lo tanto, problematizaremos la relación de Ferreira de Castro con los intelectuales portugueses, con la censura, y el contenido nacional que impregna su arquivamiento. Entonces, vamos a reflexionar sobre los medios por los que el escritor ha debilitado el aspecto ficticio de A Selva, con el fin de asegurar la aceptación del libro en el círculo intelectual de la época. Para ello, utilizaremos como fuentes algunas letras seleccionadas de su archivo y paratextos de A Selva. Por último, a partir del análisis de las biografías y periódico crítico, vamos a verificar cómo se recibieron las intervenciones del autor acerca de cómo se debe leer el texto, dando lugar a interpretaciones que ha considerado A Selva un documento o una novela autobiográfica. Como complemento de la discusión teórica que se celebrará en la disertación, vamos a producir también una novela de ficción, que interrogará la idea de que es posible representar fielmente la vida en un texto literario.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
