Ayda I. Arruda e Itala M. Loffredo D’Ottaviano, da UFPR à Unicamp: itinerário histórico e contexto biográfico de duas pioneiras da lógica no Brasil
Full text linkThis article explores the historical itinerary and context of the first two female doctors in Logic in Brazil, professors Ayda I. Arruda and Itala M. Loffredo D’Ottaviano, as well as the first generation of Brazilian female doctors in Mathematics. Different institutional contexts that mark science are examined and analyzed, mainly regarding logic and mathematics, and their gender imbalance, which is progressively being mitigated. The focus of the analysis goes through the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) and the State University of Campinas (Unicamp), the two institutions in which professor Ayda worked. Another object of study in the article was the development of gender balance in civil engineering and mathematics courses at UFPR. Some current indicators related to gender balance in science in the international context and current movements for increasing the number of women in scientific management positions are also analyzed. At the end, the article presents an original interview with professor Itala M. Loffredo D’Ottaviano, whose main theme was her biography and scientific career, and her personal relationship with professor Ayda I. Arruda, against the backdrop of gender inequality in science.Este artigo explora o itinerário histórico e o contexto das duas primeiras doutoras em lógica no Brasil, as professoras Ayda I.

São examinados e analisados diferentes contextos institucionais que marcam a ciência, principalmente a lógica e matemática, e o seu desequilíbrio de gênero, o qual progressivamente vem sendo mitigado. O foco da análise passa pela Universidade Federal de Paraná (UFPR) e pela Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp), as duas instituições nas quais trabalhou a professora Ayda. Outro objeto de estudo do artigo foi o desenvolvimento do equilíbrio de gênero nos cursos de engenharia civil e matemática da UFPR. São também analisados alguns indicadores atuais relativos ao equilíbrio de gênero na ciência no contexto internacional e os movimentos atuais pelo incremento do número de mulheres em cargos de direção científica. O artigo apresenta, ao final, uma entrevista original com a professora Itala M. Loffredo D’Ottaviano, cujo tema principal foi a sua biografia e carreira científica e a sua relação pessoal com a professora Ayda I. Arruda, tendo como pano de fundo a desigualdade de gênero na ciência
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
Evandro Luís Gomes; Itala M. Loffredo D\u27Ottaviano. Para Além das Colunas de Hércules, uma História da Paraconsistência: de Heráclito a Newton da Costa. Campinas: Editora da Unicamp, 2017.
Full text linkEm 2017 foi lançado um livro fundamental para a compreensão da história da paraconsistência. Para além das colunas de Hércules: uma história da paraconsistência é um trabalho de fôlego de Evandro Luís Gomes e Itala M. Loffredo D\u27Ottaviano. A obra se propõe a tratar, ao longo setecentas e dez páginas, a trajetória da paraconsistência de Heráclito a Newton da Costa, passando pela história da filosofia antiga, medieval, moderna e contemporânea
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
