Reconexión de dos mundos en pro de los valores democráticos
No full text4 páginasDemocracy as a political system is inevitably anchored to the principle of public deliberation, i.e., the value of communication for the discussion, definition and management of consensus and dissent in the public sphere. Historically, democratic regimes were built on axiological bases and principles that privileged reason over tradition, equality over exclusion and freedom over oppression.La democracia como sistema político está inevitablemente anclada al principio de la deliberación pública, es decir, el valor de la comunicación para la discusión, definición y gestión del consenso y el disenso en el espacio público.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
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

El problema del actor clave
No full textSe describe un procedimiento para identificar actores clave en una red social. Un supuesto básico es que la selección optima depende de los fines de dicha selección. De acuerdo con ello, se articulan dos metas genéricas, referidas al problema del actor clave en términos positivos y negativos. Primero se propone un procedimiento para identificar actores clave con el objetivo de difundir algo de manera óptima en la red, valiéndose de los actores clave como semillas. El segundo procedimiento identifica actores clave con el objetivo de perturbar o fragmentar la red eliminando algunos de sus nodos. Los indicadores de centralidad habituales no son óptimos para este propósito, por lo que se proponen nuevos indicadores.A procedure is described for finding sets of key players in a social network. A key assumption is that the optimal selection of key players depends on what they are needed for. Accordingly, two generic goals are articulated, referring to key player problem in positive (KPP-1) and negative (KPP-2) terms. KPP-1 is defined as the identification of key players for the purpose of optimally diffusing something through the network by using the key players as seeds. KPP-2 is defined as the identification of key players for the purpose of disrupting or fragmenting the network by removing the key nodes. It is found that off-the-shelf centrality measures are not optimal for solving either generic problem, and therefore new measures are presented
