Los parásitos de la ciencia. Una caracterización psicocognitiva del engaño pseudocientífico
2017
The theoretical framework of research on pseudoscience is deficient, since it usually includes other types of beliefs lacking epistemic warranty. In this paper, I review the mechanisms of exploitation of scientific authority by pseudoscience, developing a more refined psycho-cognitive framework to characterize the phenomenon. I will analyze the psychology of pseudoscientific deception, the cognitive roots that enable the epidemiology of these ideas and their mechanisms of self-legitimation, such as dialectical superiority, false external support or false ethical and/or epistemological superiority.; El marco teórico desde el cual se llevan a cabo investigaciones acerca de la pseudociencia es…
Exploring a new incubation model for FinTechs: Regulatory sandboxes
2021
Research on incubation models indicates that incubators and accelerators are crucial catalysts for the development of start-ups. To facilitate start-ups in financial markets, several regulatory authorities have adopted a new incubation model called a ‘regulatory sandbox’. Regulatory sandboxes enable eligible applicants to test their technology-enabled financial solutions for a certain period of time (subject to conditions the regulator imposes). As such, these instruments allow innovation while preventing severe instability in financial markets caused by systemic risk. Despite their importance, management research has devoted little attention to studying how sandboxes operate as a new incub…
Políticas públicas de lectura e investigación. El diseño del Plan Valenciano de Lectura
2017
Para determinar con exactitud qué acciones deben ser consideradas prioritarias en el diseño de las políticas públicas de lectura es necesario contar, en primer lugar, con equipos de investigación que aporten datos concretos que aseguren su éxito; en segundo lugar, con metodologías para su diseño, seguimiento y evaluación; en tercer lugar, con protocolos para su mejora y, finalmente, con indicadores para la medición de los objetivos y los resultados. Este artículo resume y reflexiona sobre los retos que enfrentan las políticas de lectura a partir de la revisión de las principales investigaciones e informes institucionales sobre el tema y describe el proceso de trabajo, las metodologías utili…
The agility-control-nexus: A levers of control approach on the consequences of agility in innovation projects
2021
Abstract Recent developments indicate a fast-growing relevance of the agile project methodology in innovation. Besides the benefits, agile projects also pose several challenges. Organizations need to come up with an answer to cope with the inherent risks of agile projects. The adaption of management control mechanisms is key to foster the benefits of agile. However, the ongoing debate on the benefits of control systems for innovation and the harm of control systems for achieving agility creates a nexus. Further research on how to adapt existing mechanisms is required to obtain a better understanding and provide guidance for organizations. Building on Simon's levers-of-control (LOC), this st…
Un análisis sociobibliométrico de la revista profesional Clínica y Salud
2019
espanolRESUMEN El articulo realiza un analisis bibliometrico de la revista Clinica y Salud, editada por el COP-Madrid. Se construyo una base de datos relacional que permite analizar autores, instituciones, genero, tematicas e impacto en las bases de datos de la Web of Science. Los resultados permiten observar el incremento de la cooperacion internacional y la existencia de un grupo reducido de autores muy productivos en grupos de colaboracion proximos al equipo editorial. Abierta al mundo profesional y a la practica privada o por cuenta ajena, encuentra un eje vertebrador institucional que incluye un pequeno grupo de universidades espanolas y que vincula universidades y centros extranjeros,…
Scientists’ engagement in knowledge transfer and exchange: Individual factors, variety of mechanisms and users
2018
[EN] This article aims to provide a deeper understanding of the individual factors behind scientists' involvement in a wide variety of knowledge transfer and exchange (KTE) activities. By doing so, the article addresses three major shortcomings in the literature. First, this article considers scientists' involvement in both formal and informal KTE activities. Secondly, the study focuses not only on KTE activities with the private sector, but also with other types of agents. Thirdly, the article adopts an individual approach to distinguish between three types of KTE predictors: individual capacities, training and career trajectories, and motivations. Overall, the results of the regression mo…
Eficiencia en la educación superior. Estudio empírico en universidades públicas de Colombia y España
2020
Resumen En las últimas décadas, las universidades de Iberoamérica han introducido nuevos esquemas de evaluación de calidad y rendición de cuentas, inspirados en el modelo de la nueva gestión pública (NGP). En este contexto, la eficiencia en el reparto de los fondos públicos y la obtención del máximo rendimiento posible son una prioridad. Así, medir la eficiencia en el sector público, y específicamente en la educación superior, se ha convertido en un desafío para la ciencia contable. El objetivo de este trabajo es una propuesta para el cálculo de índices de eficiencia con modelos de análisis envolvente de datos (DEA), introduciendo un paso previo a través del análisis de correlación canónica…
Mechanism change in a simulation of peer review: from junk support to elitism
2014
Abstract Peer review works as the hinge of the scientific process, mediating between research and the awareness/acceptance of its results. While it might seem obvious that science would regulate itself scientifically, the consensus on peer review is eroding; a deeper understanding of its workings and potential alternatives is sorely needed. Employing a theoretical approach supported by agent-based simulation, we examined computational models of peer review, performing what we propose to call redesign, that is, the replication of simulations using different mechanisms. Here, we show that we are able to obtain the high sensitivity to rational cheating that is present in literature. In additio…
The influence of Elfreda Chatman's theories: a citation context analysis
2018
The range of theoretical frameworks currently being used by researchers into information behaviour is abundant and diverse. We need to examine thoroughly the contribution of theories and models to further research, as this would help to improve future investigations in the field. This paper adopts this approach, by thoroughly examining the influence that Elfreda Chatman's three middle-range theories have had on subsequent research. A citation context analysis was carried out on the basis of those received by Information poverty theory, life in the round theory and normative behaviour theory. Analysis covered the year of publication, the type of work and the subject-matter of the citing docu…
