EDUCATE Portal: a Knowledge Base of best practice in sustainable environmental design, available at: https://www.educate-sustainability.eu/kb/ (accessed 16 November 2012)
No full textThe EDUCATE Portal is an essential tool for the achievement of the Action’s pedagogical specific objectives, as well as its projected long-term impacts. The Portal has been designed to primarily incorporate an internal interactive intelligent e-learning system, with the aim of facilitating the integration of principles of sustainability in architectural education and practice.
The structure of the EDUCATE Portal has evolved continuously over the first phase of the project, as a result of consultation with project partners. The Portal primarily hosts the publicly-accessible Action’s web page (www.educate-sustainability.eu), where reports, news, data, and information on activities, developments and results of the Action are disseminated to target groups (students, academics, professionals and the public). Further to the webpage, the EDUCATE Portal consists of six main components: Knowledge Base; Student Space; Expert Space; Instructor Space; Professional Space; Public Space.
Given the novelty of the EDUCATE Portal, and the difficult predictability of how the system will be used in practice, its structure incorporates significant flexibility, allowing the system configuration to be adapted following deployment of the initial prototype
EDUCATE prize - International Student Award - Sustainability in Architectural Education
No full textEDUCATE PRIZE si pone l’obiettivo di premiare a livello internazionale l’eccellenza nei lavori degli studenti che hanno approfondito e affrontato con creatività il tema della sostenibilità nei suoi molteplici aspetti in architettura come nel progetto urbano.
L’ EDUCATE PRIZE vuole, inoltre, premiare idee originali e innovative e metodi didattici che promuovano principi e pratiche sostenibili nei programmi di istruzione superiore.
Il premio costituisce un importante momento di diffusione delle attività sviluppate dalla ricerca Europea EDUCATE.
Il progetto EDUCATE, Environmental Design in University Curricula and Architectural Training in Europe, è stato finanziato nel 2009 dalla Comunità Europea (EACI) nell’ambito dell’Intelligent Energy Europe Program.
Partecipano al progetto un consorzio di sette Università europee cui si affiancano gli Ordini Professionali dei paesi partecipanti ed un Advisory Board composto da professionisti e studi di architettura di rilevanza internazionale.

No full text“State of the Art of Environmental Ssustainability in Professional Practice”
The appraisal of the state of the art of environmental sustainability in professional practice has constituted one of the subtask of Work Package 2 – the first stage of development of EDUCATE action – so as to build a Comprehensive picture of environmental awareness, knowledge and requirements amongst architectural firms and building pratictioners in Europe and in selected extra-European countries.

No full text“State of the Art of Environmental Sustainability in Academic Curricula and Conditions for Registration”
The analysis and consolidation of the state of the art of Environmental sustainability in higher education and in the condition of accreditation and professional registration has constituted one of the task of the 6-months long Work Package 2 – the first stage of development of EDUCATE – so as to build a comprehensive picture in terms of integration of environmental design and energy efficiency in current academic pedagogies and in the criteria that control access to the practice of architecture.

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
