Investigación y creatividad en el currículo de educación física
Trabajo no publicadoEl proyecto se incluye en las actividades desarrolladas por el Centro de Formación del Profesorado e Innovación Educativa de Ciudad Rodrigo (Salamanca) con la participación de un total de 8 profesores y ha sido llevado a cabo por el instituto de educación secundaria 'Fray Diego Tadeo' de Ciudad Rodrigo en Salamanca. El objetivo general planteado es: reconocer y valorar como rasgo cultural propio las actividades tradicionales de la Comunidad de Castilla y León, participando en la construcción social y cultural que suponen estas actividades y propiciando el conocimiento y la recuperación de prácticas lúdicas del pasado. Los objetivos didácticos son: 1) Planificar y llevar a cabo un proceso de investigación sobre las prácticas lúdicas tradicionales de la comarca de Ciudad Rodrigo; 2) Familiarizarse con las técnicas e instrumentos de investigación aplicadas a las ciencias sociales; 3) Analizar y clasificar los juegos tradicionales atendiendo a diferentes criterios, 4) Reconocer y valorar como un rasgo cultural propio las actividades físicas tradicionales de la comarca y de la comunidad; 5) Favorecer el trabajo en equipo; 6) Valorar el patrimonio cultural; 7) Familiarizarse con las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación. El proyecto está dividido en cinco fases correspondientes al proceso de investigación-acción: constitución del grupo de trabajo, diagnóstico de la situación, elaboración del plan de acción, acción propiamente dicha, reflexión y autoevaluación del proceso y de los resultados.Junta de Castilla y LeónES
Is there a standard research career? the unintended consequences of task specialisation in science
Research systems often envisage academic careers as linear and sequential. However, Nicolas Robinson-Garcia, Rodrigo Costas, Cassidy R. Sugimoto, Vincent Larivière and Gabriela F. Nane argue that, not only do career stages in science tend to be more diverse than are usually recognised, but they also change profile over the course of a career. By mischaracterising academic careers in this way, the authors warn research systems risk reinforcing a limited interpretation of science
Data Metrics and the Reward System of Science
Make Data Count (MDC) is a scholarly change initiative, made up of researchers and open infrastructure experts, building and advocating for evidence-based open data metrics. Throughout MDC’s tenure, various areas key to the development of research data assessment metrics have been identified. Please join a Spring seminar and discussion series centered around priority work areas, adjacent initiatives to learn from, and steps that can be taken immediately to drive diverse research communities towards assessment and reward for open data.
The third and last webinar in our series “BEGIN: metadata for meaningful metrics” will look at next steps to develop responsible and fair data metrics that can reflect the use and impact of research datasets and help elevate them to first-class scholarly outputs. We’ll focus on necessary metadata to construct metrics that take into account characteristics and contexts of open data across disciplines.
In his talk, Rodrigo Costas addresses the issue of data metrics and the reward system of science.

Is g-index better than h-index? An exploratory study at the individual level
The ability of g-index and h-index to discriminate between different types of scientists (low producers, big producers, selective scientists and top scientists) is analysed in the area of Natural Resources at the Spanish CSIC (WoS, 1994-2004). Our results show that these indicators clearly differentiate low producers and top scientists, but do not discriminate between selective scientists and big producers. However, g-index is more sensitive than h-index in the assessment of selective scientists, since this type of scientist shows in average a higher g-index/h-index ratio and a better position in g-index rankings than in the h-index ones. Current research suggests that these indexes do not substitute each other but that they are complementary.Peer reviewe
Networks of international collaboration and mobility: a comparative study
Chinchilla-Rodríguez, Zaida; Miao, Lili, Murray, Dakota, Robinson-García, Nicolás, Costas, Rodrigo and Sugimoto, Cassidy Rose. (2017). Networks of international collaboration and mobility: a comparative study. 16th International Conference on Scientometrics & Informetrics, ISSI 2017. Wuhan, China, 16-20 October 2017, p. 270-280.This study presents a preliminary comparison of networks of international collaboration and mobility. Using affiliation data from scientific publications, we analyze the structural differences between the two networks and the role of countries. The results show that researchers collaborate internationally to a much higher degree than they become internationally mobile. The number of countries involved in the networks is three times higher in collaboration than in mobility, and the average degree demonstrates that mobility networks form tight structures with fewer links than collaboration networks. The role of countries differs between the collaboration and mobility network, predominately reflecting income level. Limitations and future research are described to further understand the dynamics of collaboration and mobility networks.Financial support from Mobility Program ‘Salvador de Madariaga 2016’ and State Programme of Research, Development and Innovation oriented to the Challenges of the Society (Ref.

Entrevista com Rodrigo Pederneiras, coreógrafo do Grupo Corpo (MG - Brasil)
Entrevista realizada em 21 e 22 de setembro de 2012, quando da vinda do Grupo Corpo a Porto Alegre, como parte de sua turnê nacional. Constituiu instrumento de pesquisa na dissertação de mestrado do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Artes Cênicas da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul: “COREOGRAFIA ‘21’ DO GRUPO CORPO: 21 percepções sobre o processo de criação cênica”. Acomodados nas poltronas da plateia do Teatro do SESI, enquanto os bailarinos faziam aula no palco, o entrevistado e a autora aprofundam o objeto de estudo (o processo coreográfico do balé “21”) e visitam outros temas que mostram alguns pontos de vista do coreógrafo do Grupo Corpo, Rodrigo Pederneiras. A entrevista foi editada para fins de adequação ao espaço editorial, sem prejuízo ao conteúdo.Interview conducted on 21 and 22 September 2012, when Grupo Corpo came to Porto Alegre (south of Brazil), as part of its national tour. This interview constituted a research instrument in the master’s degree dissertation of the Performing Arts Program at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul: “CHOREOGRAPHY ‘21’ BY GRUPO CORPO: 21 insights into the process of scenic creation.” Taking place in the seats of Teatro do SESI, while dancers were on stage class, the respondent and the author deepen the object of study (the choreographic process of “21”) and visit other issues that show some views of Grupo Corpo’s choreographer, Rodrigo Pederneiras.
