(Video documentation)Sur Sur is a collaboration between dance, performance and visual artists and researchers from Santiago, Chile and Auckland, New Zealand. Sur Sur is supported by dance programmes at the University of Auckland and the University of Chile and the Museo de Arte Contemporaneó, Santiago. Initiated by Marisol Vargas (Chile) following her residency in New Zealand and involvement with Carol Brown through the DART project (Dance and Visual Art, Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki / Dance Studies the University of Auckland) the catalyst for the project is a desire to develop collaboration between visual artists and performance makers from the Global South who share an interest in questions of identity, belonging and artistic responses to contemporary crises through inter-arts processes. The artists met and workshopped together in Santiago generating a performance and exhibition presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Santiago 16-18th November; with the exhibition running 16th Nov - 3rd Dec 2017. A Symposium hosted by the Museum and University of Chile explored critical contexts of decolonisation through dialogues around instability and change, between art forms and creative communities.Carol Brown presented her dance video, Releasing Her Archive as part of the exhibition and performed a choreography developed in response to the provocations of Sur Sur and her recent research into moving archives.http://www.uchile.cl/agenda/138494/exposicion-sur-sur-en-mac-parque-foresta
Agenda política de Lima Sur : Lurín, Pachacámac, San Juan de Miraflores, Villa El Salvador, Villa María del Triunfo
No full textEl proceso de construcción de esta agenda ha implicado la constitución de un equipo impulsor y la realización de talleres de análisis y formulación de propuestas en los
siguientes temas: a) educación, b) igualdad de género e igualdad de oportunidades entre hombres y mujeres, c) medio ambiente, d) participación ciudadana y e) desarrollo económico local. El objetivo que nos anima es presentar esta propuesta a las autoridades, varones y mujeres, a los y las líderes sociales, a los candidatos y candidatas a las alcaldías y a los concejos municipales distritales de Lima Sur, como un aporte para la gestión de los gobiernos municipales distritales que se instalarán el 1 de enero de 2011 y para el trabajo de la Asociación de Municipalidades del Área Sur
de Lima, AMASUR y la Mancomunidad de los Distritos del Litoral de Lima Sur
MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
