Exploratory Apprenticeship in the Digital Age with AI Tools
No full textReviewed by João BalsaAlong this decade, advances from Cognitive and Computing Sciences disturbed the college
campus, namely via the availability of online courses (MOOCs) and tools, and also the secondary
schools with e-learning environments. The technological impacts helped to democratize traditional
university education and brought, to everywhere in the world, the teaching of wonderful professors
through Internet (YouTube). Yet, the lectures are still alive and the old fashion pedagogy seems in
good health, most of the students don´t participate fully in the process of learning. What is missing is a
profound shake-up of mentalities, new initiatives to accelerate learning research and the discovery of
the resilience of the whole process. Artificial Intelligence and Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT´s) in general are sound proposals to open alleys till a happy solution, and in this
paper we try to show some ideas about the disruption of the traditional classroom scenario due to the
availability of innovative online resources and computers (tablets, smartphones, laptops)

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
G-TEC: Uma Ferramenta para Busca de Tecnologias Educacionais
No full textEste trabalho apresenta a implementação de uma ferramenta de busca de tecnologias educacionais, pré-qualificadas pelo Ministério da Educação (MEC). O processo de pré-qualificação de tecnologias educacionais, no qual se baseia este trabalho, tem como objetivo a produção de um documento chamado Guia de Tecnologias Educacionais, composto por tecnologias aprovadas para uso em escolas públicas brasileiras. A interpretação computacional do guia, operacionalizando-o através de uma ferramenta de busca web, permite recuperar tecnologias conforme consultas específicas dos usuários e este é o objetivo geral do presente trabalho. Além disto, propõe-se com esta ferramenta que a disponibilização das tecnologias pré-qualificadas seja realizada de forma mais rápida, uma vez que logo após o processo avaliativo, os dados sobre as tecnologias já estarão disponíveis para consultas, sem que seja necessário esperar que o processo de editoração e diagramação do documento com as tecnologias aprovadas seja concluído

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
