Libres: memoria, ética y estética sobre Paúl Rivas, Javier Ortega y Efraín Segara, periodistas de Grupo El Comercio.
No full textThis work investigates the memory of relatives and colleagues of Paúl Rivas, Javier Ortega and Efraín Segarra, journalists from Grupo El Comercio, kidnapped and disappeared on April 11, 2018 by the narco-criminal organization Oliver Sinisterra. This event marked the beginning of violence and the institution of the drug state in Ecuador. The objective of this work is not to let the memory of the journalists die and for this fact to remain unpunished. The methodology of the work is based on creating a dramaturgical text about the case, bringing it to stage under the name: Libres, and then measuring the impact and contribution of the work on family members and colleagues of Paúl, Javier and Efraín, through the interview technique. structured. The result of this work shows that the arts and theater make it possible to look at events in different ways and allow us to strengthen memory and struggle so that events of this type do not remain unpunished or are repeated.El presente trabajo indaga en la memoria de familiares y colegas de Paúl Rivas, Javier Ortega y Efraín Segarra, periodistas de Grupo El Comercio, secuestrados y desaparecidos el 11 de abril de 2018 por la organización narcodelictiva Oliver Sinisterra. Este hecho marcó el inicio de la violencia y la institución del narco estado en el Ecuador. El objetivo de este trabajo es no dejar morir la memoria de los periodistas y no permitir que este hecho quede en la impunidad. La metodología del trabajo parte de crear un texto dramatúrgico sobre el caso, llevarlo a escena bajo el nombre: Libres, para luego medir el impacto y aporte de la obra en familiares y colegas de Paúl, Javier y Efraín, mediante la técnica de la entrevista estructurada. El resultado de este trabajo da cuenta de que las artes y el teatro posibilitan mirar los hechos de formas distintas y permiten fortalecer la memoria y la lucha porque hechos de este tipo no queden en la impunidad ni se repitan.

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

Rivas, Javier & Rodriguez-Alvarez, Carmelo. (2016). Deliberation, Leadership and Information Aggregation. The Manchester School. 10.1111/manc.12151.We analyse committees of voters who take a decision between two options as a two- stage process. In a discussion stage, voters share non-verifiable information about a private signal concerning what is the best option. In a voting stage, votes are cast and one of the options is implemented. We introduce the possibility of leadership whereby a certain voter, the leader, is more influential than the rest at the discussion stage even though she is not better informed. We study information transmission and characterize the effects of the leader on the deliberation process. We find, amongst others, that both the quality of the decision taken by the committee and how truthful voters are at the discussion stage depends non-monotonically on how influential the leader is. In particular, although a leader whose influence is weak does not disrupt the decision process of the committee in any way, a very influential leader is less disruptive than a moderately influential leader.Fac. de Ciencias Económicas y EmpresarialesInstituto Complutense de Análisis Económico (ICAE)FALSEunpu
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
