Medir sin nombrar: La producción de estadísticas oficiales sobre Discapacidad en Argentina
Full text linkLa discapacidad históricamente ha sido tratada como una cuestión individual y médica, por ende invisibilizada en su dimensión social y pública. En las últimas décadas Argentina ha protagonizado importantes transformaciones en relación a la discapacidad. Se multiplicaron las organizaciones orientadas a la lucha por los derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad; se implementaron normativas orientadas a la ampliación de sus derechos; y se innovó en materia de políticas públicas destinadas a esta población. Todo ello contribuyó a que la discapacidad se erigiera como una problemática pública, que requería la producción de información estadística oficial. Este artículo tiene por objetivo describir los principales instrumentos de medición que el Estado argentino ha implementado e implementa para generar datos sobre la discapacidad. Teniendo en cuenta los lineamientos conceptuales y metodológicos de dichos dispositivos, se realizará un análisis crítico de los mismos y se dará cuenta de los beneficios y límites que dichas herramientas suponen para la medición de la discapacidad. Por último, se caracterizará a la población con discapacidad a partir de una selección de datos oficiales y se reflexionará sobre las posibilidades de establecer un diálogo con las condiciones y mediciones de otros grupos poblacionales históricamente silenciados.Disability has historically been treated as an individual and medical issue, and therefore invisibilised in its social and public dimension. In recent decades, Argentina has undergone important transformations in relation to disability. Organisations oriented towards the struggle for the rights of persons with disabilities have multiplied; regulations aimed at expanding their rights have been implemented; and innovations have been made in terms of public policies aimed at this population. All this contributed to the emergence of disability as a public issue, which required the production of official statistical information. The aim of this article is to describe the main measurement instruments that the Argentine State has implemented and implements to generate data on disability. An analysis of the devices will be carried out taking into account their conceptual and methodological guidelines, and the benefits and limitations of these tools for disability measurement will be presented. Finally, we will characterize the population with disabilities based on a selection of official data and reflect on the possibilities of establishing a dialogue with the conditions and measurements of other historically silenced population groups.Fil: Madeo, Angela.

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
