Per una dimensione di genere nella valutazione della ricerca
No full textL’attuale sistema di valutazione della ricerca in Italia ha come presupposto indiscusso la definizione di criteri neutrali e oggettivi. Eppure, esiste un’ampia bibliografia di ricerche internazionali che contesta la neutralità presunta della valutazione, mostrando l’esistenza di uno “standard doppio” di eccellenza:
uno valido per gli uomini, l’altro per le donne che devono sostenere performance migliori per essere valutate al pari dei colleghi maschi. Questi studi rivelano come le discriminazioni di genere agiscono (anche) attraverso processi di valutazione che incidono direttamente sull’assegnazione dei fondi di ricerca, il reclutamento delle ricercatrici e la progressione di carriera. Nell’ambito delle azioni promosse dal progetto europeo FP7 GENOVATE (Transforming organisational culture for gender equality in research and innovation), il team dell’Università degli studi di Napoli Federico II promuove una riflessione sul tema “genere e valutazione” e la diffusione di un Codice di condotta per la definizione di Standard di Eccellenza della Ricerca in un’ottica di genere e di rispetto per le diversità
Dal progetto europeo STENCIL alcune riflessioni sullo stato dell’innovazione creativa dell’insegnamento delle scienze nella scuola
No full textIl Network Comenius STENCIL – Science Teaching European
Network for Creativity and Innovation in Learning – ha prodotto nel 2013 le Linee
Guida per insegnare ed apprendere le scienze in modo creativo in cui sono discussi
alcuni problemi relativi all’innovazione dell’insegnamento delle Scienze a scuola e
vengono forniti vari suggerimenti per azioni future. In particolare si evidenzia
quanto la questione di genere, insieme a quella più generale dell’inclusione, non
sia considerata cruciale né fra le innovazioni da apportare nell’insegnamento né fra
le competenze dell’insegnante del futuro. Un suggerimento è stato quindi quello di
sviluppare, potenziare e diffondere pratiche che stimolino l’interesse delle ragazze
nelle materie scientifiche e promuovano l'inclusione, aspetti considerati
fondamentali dall’Europa per valorizzare l’impatto della scienza sulla società.The Comenius Network STENCIL – Science Teaching European
Network for Creativity and Innovation in Learning – produced in 2013 the
Guidelines for teaching and learning science in a creative way by highlighting the
key issues of science teaching innovation at school and offering to decision makers
a number of suggestions for future actions. In particular it was found that the
gender issue, along with others issues concerning society, is not considered crucial
both among the innovations and within the competence of the teacher of the future.
One of the Guidelines recommendations concerned a greater attention to these
aspects, crucial for society and Europe
ll Progetto europeo GenderTime all’Università di Padova: il ruolo del Transfer Agent
No full textNel progetto europeo GenderTime le azioni fondamentali riguardano il trasferimento, l’implementazione, il monitoraggio e l’equità in prospettiva di genere. Nelle organizzazioni complesse rappresentate da centri di ricerca e atenei del Consorzio, le finalità sono difficili da realizzare se non sono sostenute da misure strategiche e coordinate: a questo proposito GenderTime ha individuato il ruolo di una figura specifica che all’interno di ogni istituzione si occupa dell’implementazione e dello sviluppo in prospettiva di formazione ed educazione al cambiamento strutturale. Tale figura è il Transfer agent (TA) che in ogni realtà in cui è stata istituita ha assunto particolari caratteristiche interpretando l’originalità del proprio contesto di azione mettendo in campo metodolgie specifiche. In un ateneo di grandi dimensioni quale quello di Padova, la TA rappresenta una figura di sistema incaricata di sviluppare azioni di progettazione, implementazione, comunicazione in prospettiva di mainstreaming verticale e orizzontale
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
