Teaching research in sociocultural anthropology in the School of Natural Sciences. Students’ expectations and teachers’ learning
Full text linkPresentamos algunas refl exiones sobre los aprendizajes realizados por los autores como cátedra tras veinte años de experiencia enseñando métodos y técnicas de investigación a alumnos del último año de la carrera de antropología con orientación sociocultural en la Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo de la UNLP. Parte de estas refl exiones derivan de un análisis de las expectativas manifestadas por los alumnos con respecto a la materia al inicio de la cursada en los últimos años.This papers introduces some refl ections on the authors’ learning as professors after twenty years’ experience in teaching research methods and techniques to last year undergraduate students of social and cultural anthropology in the School of Natural Sciences and Museum (UNLP). Some of these refl ections stem from an analysis of students’ expectations as regards the subject and which are stated by them at the very beginning of the academic year.Fil: Rodriguez, Pablo Gustavo.

Civil Society Organizations and International Cooperation Agencies in the Coproduction of a National Agenda for Afro-Descendants in Argentina: Reflections on a SAICD Project
Full text linkSe analiza un proyecto de cooperación internacional denominado “Apoyo a la población afro‐argentina y sus organizaciones de base” financiado por la Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional al Desarrollo (AECID). Desarrollado entre los años 2008 y 2010 y liderado por la Sociedad de Socorros Mutuos Unión Caboverdeana de Dock Sud, localidad cercana a Buenos Aires, Argentina. La estructura de oportunidades creada por este proyecto permitió a los líderes de las organizaciones argentinas canalizar recursos para beneficiar a su propia gente y fortalecer de ese modo sus respectivos liderazgos. Las organizaciones afroargentinas adoptaron la jerga de la cooperación internacional y aprendieron a enmarcar sus intereses bajo las categorías de acciones estratégicas aceptadas por la AECID. Al apoyar el proyecto esta última cumplió su misión, justificó su existencia y ofreció a sus donantes evidencia del correcto uso de sus fondos de acuerdo a las directivas establecidas en su Plan Estratégico.This article analyzes an International Cooperation Project, "Support to the Afro-Argentinian Population and its Community-based Organizations," funded by the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (Spanish acronym, AECID). It was implemented between 2008 and 2010 and was led by the Cape Verdean Association of Mutual Aid, located at Dock Sud, a town to the south of the city of Buenos Aires in Argentina. The opportunity structure created by this project allowed the leaders of Argentine organizations to draw resources to benefit their own people, and thereby strengthen their respective leaderships. Afro-Argentine organizations adopted the international cooperation jargon and learned to frame their interests under the categories of strategic actions accepted by AECID. In supporting this project the Spanish agency, in turn, fulfilled its mission, justified its existence, and offered evidence to the donors of the correct use of its funds, according to the guidelines of its Strategic Plan.Fil: Rodriguez, Pablo Gustavo.

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
