    El trabajo se inscribe en el campo de reflexión e investigación sobre movimientos sociales y sus procesos de formación y educación. Focaliza en algunas dimensiones y conceptos que dan cuenta de ese recorte de la realidad y que a la vez permiten pensar la intervención de los universitarios desde sus prácticas de investigación, enseñanza y extensión.Para hacerlo, se reconstruyen las características de la experiencia de un equipo docente de la UNLu, sus criterios de acción junto a movimientos y organizaciones populares y los procesos de reflexión y conceptualización construidos en ese camino. Se comparten herramientas para pensar los ámbitos formativos y las prácticas cotidianas de lucha, organización y de construcción de nuevas realidades.Fil: Di Matteo, Alvaro Javier. Universidad Nacional del Centro de la Provincia de Buenos Aires; Argentina.This article takes part of the field of reflection and research on social movements and their education processes. It focuses on some dimensions and concepts that express this specific perspective on reality and that, at the same time, allows us to reflect upon the ways in which university students take part, throughout the course of their research, in teaching and extension practices.In order to do this, we reconstruct the experience of a teaching team from Universidad Nacional de Luján, its action criteria together with popular movements and organizations, and the reflection and conceptualization processes built along that path.We share tools that can be useful to think about educational fields and daily practices of struggle, organization and construction of new realities

    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

    Full text link
    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

    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

    Universidad, movimientos y educación: entre senderos y bordes

    Fil: Michi, Norma Amalia. Universidad Nacional de Luján; ArgentinaFil: Di Matteo, Alvaro Javier. Universidad Nacional de Luján; ArgentinaFil: Vila, Diana Gabriela. Universidad Nacional de Luján; ArgentinaEste trabajo reúne una serie de textos escritos en los últimos años por integrantes de un equipo docente universitario. Los movimientos y las organizaciones sociales constituyen espacios de participación política que tiene una particularidad: la de hallarse relacionadas con la experiencia vital de los sujetos. Es decir, cercanas a la compleja trama de necesidades, subjetividades, afirmaciones culturales y proyectos que los sujetos esgrimen (De Sousa Santos, 2001) Su contexto inmediato es de una profunda fragmentación social, generada en la multiplicación de experiencias sociales que se desprenden de la situación del capitalismo avanzado. Esa realidad es diversa, y compleja, y optamos trabajar con un sector al que se designa como el de organizaciones y movimientos populares, que cuentan con dos características: luchan contra formas de desposesión, opresión y explotación, y lo hacen con fuerte protagonismo de sujetos pertenecientes a las clases subalternas (Michi, Di Matteo, Vila, 2013). La Educación Popular es un movimiento intelectual y práctico heterogéneo, surgido en América Latina, que fue atravesando diversas coyunturas y escenarios locales. Este libro expresa en buena medida esa experiencia. Sus autores, decíamos inicialmente, son tres (los más antiguos) integrantes de un colectivo algo mayor, al que se han sumado otras compañeras y compañeros con permanencia en el tiempo o durante períodos acotados

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    We 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
