Entrevista a Pablo Esteban, periodista de ciencia, divulgador y docente
No full textFil: Esteban, Pablo. Universidad Nacional de Quilmes; Argentina.Conversamos con Pablo Esteban, periodista de ciencia, divulgador y docente de la Universidad Nacional de Quilmes sobre la particular importancia de comunciar ciencia en tiempos de pandemia y los desafíos que esto implica. La crisis global del 2019 causada por el coronavirus irrumpió en la industria de los medios de comunicación y se consolidó como el tema central en la urgencia por informar, opinar y comentar
Teoría de la Comunicación Social II
No full textFil: Alfonso, Alfredo. Universidad Nacional de Quilmes. Departamento de Ciencias Sociales; Argentina.Fil: Esteban, Pablo. Universidad Nacional de Quilmes. Departamento de Ciencias Sociales; Argentina.Entender la comunicación desde su relación con la teoría implica necesariamente situarse en una de sus múltiples dimensiones: la de su tematización, medianamente sistematizada; la de la comunicación como objeto construido desde distintos saberes. Implica reconocer también la distinción entre.. teoría y comunicación, y a su vez, la imposibilidad de un tratamiento por separado. Este programa, pensado a partir del recorrido ya hecho y el recorrido a hacer por parte de los alumnos en el curriculum, propone trabajar a partir de ejes problemáticos dentro del campo latinoamericano de la comunicación, que permitan su construcción en términos teóricos y su relación con las ciencias sociales
Entre ciudad y fábrica : las representaciones sociales y las prácticas laborales de los trabajadores del Cementerio de la Chacarita respecto a la muerte
Full text linkTesis de MaestríaEl siguiente trabajo se propone describir y analizar el modo en que los trabajadores del Cementerio “intervienen la muerte” en su etapa final, es decir, construyen representaciones sociales y experimentan prácticas laborales, según lógicas y roles específicos en el marco de un sistema productivo. En esta línea, la relevancia del tema radica en su originalidad, pues hasta la fecha no se han hallado investigaciones que aborden la organización social del trabajo en el Cementerio de la Chacarita ni en otras necrópolis del país, a partir de la utilización de herramientas teórico-metodológicas provenientes de campos como la sociología, la antropología y la comunicación social.Fil: Esteban, Pablo Osvaldo.

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
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
