La investigación y epistemología del turismo: aportes y retos
No full textThe article highlights, among others, the importance that epistemology has for the tourism, in the sense of the possibility of a serious and strong building beyond taking tourism like a normative scheme in the production of a knowledge. Also several disciplinary contributions are described; however, the point is that the appearance of such several scientific disciplines demands legitimacy in the tourist knowledge produced, as well as new forms to organize it and to classify it, in its attempt to produce strictness. For that reason, an analysis that we have introduced is the role that university gets in such objective: vital not like a subject of “academic impulsive change” but of intellectual survival, fostering critic and reflection among investigators and students, when building up study targets which can be classified as touristic.El artículo destaca, entre otras cuestiones, la importancia que tiene la epistemología para el turismo, en el sentido de ser posibilidad de construcción seria y rigurosa más allá de tomársele como un esquema normativo en la producción de un saber. También se describen diversas aportaciones disciplinarias, empero, la cuestión en juego es que la aparición de esas diversas disciplinas científicas reclaman legitimidad en los conocimientos turísticos producidos así como nuevas formas de organizarlo y clasificarlo, en su intento de producir rigurosidad. Por ello, un análisis que introducimos es el papel que adquiere la universidad en tal objetivo: vital no como un asunto de “exquisitez académica” sino de supervivencia intelectual, al fomentar la crítica y reflexión en los investigadores y estudiantes, al construir objetos de estudio que puedan clasificarse como turísticos
Epistemología critica del turismo ¿Qué es eso?¹
No full textEste trabalho tem o interesse em mostrar as armadilhas que tem vivido a academia do turismo em sua polêmica e tão buscada cientificidade nos estudos de seus fenômenos. São abordados as visões neofuncionalistas e neoestruturalistas que redefinemo discurso economicista e produtivista oficial do turismo; a proposta de uma visão crítica reflexiva da epistemología do turismo; e diretrizes para reformular os processos educativos, a partir dos quais se deve fomentar este tipo de pensamento na formação do futuro profissional em turismo.El presente trabajo se interesa por mostrar el entrampamiento que ha vivido la academia del turismo en su polémica de la tan buscada cientificidad o disciplinariedad de esto que llamamos turismo; las visiones neofuncionales y neoestructurales que refuncionalizan el discurso economicista y productivista oficial del turismo; la propuesta de una visión crítica reflexiva de la epistemología del turismo y la apuesta para reformular los procesos educativos desde donde se debe fomentar este tipo de pensamiento en el futuro egresado del turismo.This paper is concerned with showing the entrapment which has experienced the academy of tourism in their long-sought controversy or scientific disciplinarity of this thing called tourism; the neo-functionalist views that refunctionalized neo structural economist and productivist discourse official tourism; the proposal of a critical reflexive epistemology of tourism and a commitment to reshape the educational process should be encouraged where this kind of thinking in the future graduates of tourism

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
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
