Get PDFEl proyecto trabaja en torno a la pregunta. ¿Cómo se relaciona la propuesta comunicativa de Maloka referente a la ciencia y tecnología con la significación que los visitantes libres jóvenes y adultos- construyen durante su experiencia de visita al Centro Interactivo? Propone un marco de referencia cuyas categorías principales son experiencia, interacción y las relaciones entre conocimiento, aprendizaje y comunicación de la ciencia.The Project Works around the question: ¿How is the relationship among the communicative proposal of Maloka about science and the technology and the meaning making of the free-choice visitors young and adults- during their experience of visiting the interactive science center?. It proposes a conceptual frame whose principal categories are experience, interaction and the relationships between knowledge, learning and science communication
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
Participação cidadã, inclusão social e inovação na governança dos centros de ciência na Colômbia
No full textEl objetivo de este artículo es evaluar las prácticas tácitas y explícitas relacionadas con la gobernanza de los Centros de Ciencia de Colombia (ccc) desde la participación de los públicos, la inclusión social, y la innovación, con el fin de proponer mecanismos y estrategias que fortalezcan las capacidades de los diferentes actores, para tener una ciudadanía cada vez más participativa, científica y democrática. Para la identificación de la muestra teórica nos basamos en los aportes de Strauss y Corbin (1998). En una muestra teórica, los casos se eligen para rellenar categorías teóricas y para proporcionar ejemplos de situaciones extremas y tipos polares (Eisenhardt, 1989). Se llevaron a cabo entrevistas presenciales hechas en profundidad mediante un cuestionario de preguntas específicas seleccionadas en función de las variables. Los datos fueron analizados con técnicas destinadas al desarrollo de la teoría basada en los aportes de (Strauss y Corbin, 1998), conceptualizando y reduciendo los resultados de las entrevistas en categorías comunes, y encontrando relaciones a través de ellas. Los resultados de este estudio están en concordancia con Bandelli et al. (2009), Freeman (2010) y Quick y Bryson (2016), cuando afirman que la participación implica la contribución directa o indirecta hecha por personas o grupos con capacidad para influir en el desarrollo de proyectos y programas. Concluimos que los ciudadanos no participan de la toma de decisiones con respecto a la gestión, y ello es debido fundamentalmente a que las estructuras internas concebidas son rígidas y están administradas por los miembros de la junta y los directivos. El artículo es original producto de la investigación.This paper aims to evaluate both tacit and explicit practices related to the governance of the Science Centers in Colombia (ccc) based on public participation, social inclusion, and innovation, in order to propose mechanisms and strategies that strengthen the capacities of different actors, in order to have more participatory, scientific and democratic citizens. To identify the theoretical sample of the CCCs, we rely on the contributions of Strauss and Corbin (1998). In a theoretical sample, cases are chosen to fill in theoretical categories and to provide examples of extreme situations and polar types (Eisenhardt, 1989). Face-to-face interviews were conducted in depth through a questionnaire of specific questions selected according to the variables. The data were analyzed with techniques aimed at the development of theory based on the contributions of Strauss and Corbin (1998), conceptualizing and reducing the results of the interviews in common categories, and finding relationships through them. The results of this study agree with Bandelli et al. (2009), Freeman (2010) and Quick and Bryson (2016), when they affirm that participation implies the direct or indirect contribution made by individuals or groups with the capacity to influence the development of projects and programs. We conclude that citizens do not participate in decision-making with regard to management, and this happens mainly because rigid internal structures that are managed by board members and managers.

Concluímos que os cidadãos não participam da toma de decisão em relação à gestão, e isso acontece principalmente porque as estrutu ras internas projetadas são rígidas e gerenciadas por conselheiros e administradores.
