    El Centro Azucarero Argentino frente a la primera crisis azucarera de sobreproducción : tensiones y conflictos : 1895-1897

    El presente artículo examina las estrategias corporativas desplegadas por el Centro Azucarero Argentino (corporación empresaria fundada al calor de los debates parlamentarios en torno al librecambio y el proteccionismo de 1894) ante la primera crisis de sobreproducción. Tempranamente en las reuniones de la Comisión Directiva del Centro Azucarero se comenzaron a estudiar las posibles soluciones ante la crisis que se insinuaba. De esta manera entre los años 1895 y 1897 la asociación ensayó distintas estrategias para neutralizar el descenso del precio del dulce. Durante 1895, la corporación orientó sus acciones a lograr acuerdos de venta entre los fabricantes. Como no se obtuvieron los resultados esperados de estas gestiones, a finales de ese año el Centro optó por presentar ante el Congreso de la Nación un proyecto de ley que facilitara la colocación del excedente de azúcar en el mercado mundial a través del establecimiento de primas a la exportación. Paralelamente a la gestión parlamentaria, impulsó la formación de una Sociedad Anónima que comprara y exportara el excedente de producción. Por último, en 1897 convocó a un Congreso Azucarero presidido por el ex presidente Carlos Pellegrini con el propósito de diseñar un proyecto que contuviera las demandas de todos los industriales.The Centro Azucarero Argentino facing the first crisis of overproduction. Tensions and conflicts, 1895-1897. This paper examines the corporate strategies deploied by the Sugar Argentine Center (entrepreneur corporation founded to the heat of the parliamentary debates concerning the free trade and the protectionism of 1894). Early in the meetings of the managerial commission of the Sugar Center the possible solutions were begun to study before the crisis that was insinuated. Hereby between the year 1895 and 1897 the association tested different strategies to neutralize the decrease of the price of the sweet. During 1895, the corporation orientated his actions to achieve agreements of sale among the manufacturers. Since there were not obtained the results expected from these negotiations, at the end of this year the Center chose to present before the Congress of the Nation a project of law that was facilitating the placement of the surplus of sugar on the world market across the establishment of export bounties. Parallel to the parliamentary management, it stimulated the formation of a Joint-stock company that was buying and exporting the surplus of production. Finally, in 1897 it called for a Sugar Congress presided by the ex-president Carlos Pellegrini with the intention of designing a project that was containing the demands of all the manufacturers.Fil: Lenis, María .

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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 link
    We 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
