Architecture Enabling Adaptation of Data Integration Processes for a Research Information System

2018

Abstract Today, many efforts have been made to implement information systems for supporting research evaluation activities. To produce a good framework for research evaluation, the selection of appropriate measures is important. Quality aspects of the systems’ implementation should also not be overlooked. Incomplete or faulty data should not be used and metric computation formulas should be discussed and valid. Correctly integrated data from different information sources provide a complete picture of the scientific activity of an institution. Knowledge from the data integration field can be adapted in research information management. In this paper, we propose a research information system f…

Research production in high-impact journals of contemporary neuroscience: A gender analysis

2017

Neuroscience or Neural Science is a very active and interdisciplinary field that seeks to understand the brain and the nervous system. In spite of important advances made in recent decades, women are still underrepresented in neuroscience research output as a consequence of gender inequality in science overall. This study carries out a scientometric analysis of the 30 neuroscience journals (2009–2010) with the highest impact in the Web of Science database (Thomson Reuters) in order to quantitatively examine the current contribution of women in neuroscientific production, their pattern of research collaboration, scientific content, and the analysis of scientific impact from a gender perspect…

Discussing Wartime Collaboration in a Transnational Digital Space: The Framing of the UPA and the Latvian Legion in Wikipedia

2017

Mārtiņs Kaprāns and Mykola Makhortykh examine how memory wars and memory truces occur in a transnational space of digital media. Examining how the Ukrainian Insurgent Army and the Latvian Legion are represented on Wikipedia, the chapter discusses interactions between digital technology and the contentious memory of collaboration. To this end, it investigates the different framing strategies used to represent wartime memories in Wikipedia, the ways these strategies are developed by local editors’ communities, and the reception of Wikipedia’s representations of the past by national and transnational audiences. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the different forms of consensus used in…

Tensions in Online Communities: The Case of a Mass Size eParticipation Initiative

2017

Part 4: Critical Reflections; International audience; While Online Communities (OCs) are increasingly used to involve people in organizations and societies, few studies focus on how OC influence political decision making within eParticipation initiatives. This issue is explored through an interpretive case-study of the Italian Five Star Movement (M5S), a mass-size eParticipation political initiative recently founded by private citizens. The use of OCs is a common strategy to involve groups of people to easily connect on-line, cooperating on common and shared interests. We here focus on understanding the internal and external forces influencing on the OCs, to better understand how to manage …

Criterios para gestionar una política de adquisiciones: estudio estadístico del catálogo colectivo de publicaciones seriadas de la Universitat de Val…

1996

One of the most important topics in libraries management, specially nowadays when library budgets have been blocked or shortened, is to set up a suitable acquisitions policy. This article aims, from a particular experience, to supply some information that allow to fix such an acquisitions policy. It analyses the Valencia University Serials Catalog, taking into account its growth throughout time, changes in titles distribution by the publishing country, in libraries and collections, always relating the whole collection to the current one, to conclude with a view of the collection distribution in knowledge areas, taking into account the number of students.<br><br>Uno de los temas …
