Electoral Training, a Three-Dimensional Approach: Strengthening Embs, Enhancing the Quality of Electoral Processes, and Combating Disinformation
No full textEl documento aborda la capacitación electoral como un elemento crucial para fortalecer la democracia, enfocándose en tres dimensiones principales: el fortalecimiento de los Organismos de Gestión Electoral (OGE), la mejora de la calidad de los procesos electorales y el combate a la desinformación. Se destaca la importancia de un enfoque holístico en la capacitación, que va más allá de la formación técnica y abarca aspectos éticos, habilidades de comunicación y pensamiento crítico. El texto enfatiza la necesidad de adaptar la capacitación a diferentes grupos, incluyendo funcionarios electorales, organiza-ciones políticas, observadores, fuerzas de seguridad, medios de comunicación y ciudadanía en general.Se presentan dos métodos para la capacitación electoral: el método de casos y el de escenarios futuros. El primero utiliza situaciones reales o simuladas para desarrollar habilidades prácticas, mientras que el segundo se enfoca en preparar a los funcionarios para posibles desafíos futuros. El documento también aborda la importancia de la capacitación como herramienta contra la desinfor-mación, destacando la necesidad de desarrollar habilidades de alfabetización mediática y digital. Finalmente, se ofrecen recomendaciones para implementar programas de capacitación efectivos y adaptativos en el contexto electoral.The document addresses electoral training as a crucial element for strengthening democracy, focusing on three main dimensions: the strengthening of Electoral Management Bodies (EMBs), the improvement of the quality of electoral processes, and the fight against disinformation.The importance of a holistic approach to training is highlighted, which goes beyond technical training and encompasses ethical aspects, communication skills, and critical thinking. The text emphasizes the need to adapt training to different groups, including electoral officials, political organizations, observers, security forces, media, and the general public.Two methods for electoral training are presented: the case method and the future scenarios method. The former uses real or simulated situations to develop practical skills, while the latter focuses on preparing officials for potential future challenges.The document also addresses the importance of training as a tool against disinformation, highlighting the need to develop media and digital literacy skills. Finally, recommendations are offered for implementing effective and adaptive training programs in the electoral contextFil: Costabella, Paola.

PASO: Una apuesta por la relegitimación del proceso electoral y el fortalecimiento de la democracia
No full textEn nuestra región las elecciones primarias dejaron de ser una excepcionalidad y comenzaron a difundirse de diversas y novedosas maneras, buscando responder a los desafíos que la mencionada sensación de crisis de la representación o la propia debilidad de los partidos políticos suponía para el correcto funcionamiento de la democracia.Fil: Abal Medina, Juan Manuel.

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
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
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
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
