Drilling for Papers in INKE

In this article, we discuss the first year research plan for the INKE interface design team, which focuses on a prototype for chaining. Interpretable as a subclass of Unsworths scholarly primitive of discovering, chaining is the process of beginning with an exemplary article, then finding the articles that it cites, the articles they cite, and so on until the reader begins to get a feel for the terrain. The chaining strategy is of particular utility for scholars working in new areas, either through doing background work for interdisciplinary interests or else by pursuing a subtopic in a domain that generates a paper storm of publications every year. In our prototype project, we plan to produce a system that accepts a seed article, tunnels through a number of levels of citation, and generates a summary report listing the most frequent authors and articles. One of the innovative features of this prototype is its use of the experimental oil and water interface effect, which uses text animation to provide the user with a sense of the underlying process.

Canvi de papers: estudiant actor, professor observador

El treball discuteix per una banda com incrementar el treball personal i la responsabilitat dels estudiants en les classes pràctiques de laboratori i per altra banda quins problemes nous representa aquest treball pels professors i quines competències que es requeririen, amb la finalitat de moure l’activitat més cap a un procés d’aprenentatge de l’estudiant i reduint la funció promotora i de lideratge del professor. A part dels continguts, es fomenta la participació activa i s’incrementa el treball de competències transversals dels estudiants: aprendre per ensenyar, planificació, tasques de supervisió, capacitat de negociació, treball en grup, comunicació oral, argumentació i per sobre de tot responsabilitat. Valorar els resultats resulta de moment difícil i contradictori. Per una banda la taxa d’èxit i de rendiment de l’assignatura ha tendit a la baixa, tot i que la valoració de l’assignatura depèn no només d’aquesta activitat, i en aquesta en concret el rendiment és alt. Per l’altre, la valoració que fan els estudiants de l’assignatura és molt positiva, de manera que l’exigència i el sistema d’avaluació continuada, força estricte, no ha comportat una pèrdua d’interès per la matèria. Per part dels professors hi ha un sobreesforç de preparació de les pràctiques perquè s’han hagut de modificar els guions i el material, i un sobreesforç d’avaluació, atès que es fa una avaluació qualitativa i la seva justificació resulta particularment difícil per falta d’experiència. En general aquest tipus d’avaluació no és acceptada fàcilment i genera molta discussió sobre quina ha de ser la manera de fer-ho per no caure en la subjectivitat. El debat avui dia hauria de ser, també, com s’ha de produir la formació del professorat. Finalment, sembla haver-hi una millora en el rendiment dels estudiants que han participat en el pla d’acció tutorial de la facultat de ciències

Selecting Scientific Papers for Publication via Citation Auctions

The scientific community has been suffering from peer review for decades. This process (also called refereeing) subjects an author's scientific work or ideas to the scrutiny of one or more experts in the field. Publishers use it to select and screen manuscript submissions, and funding agencies use it to award research funds. The goal is to get authors to meet their discipline's standards and thus achieve scientific objectivity. Publications and awards that haven't undergone peer review are often regarded with suspicion by scholars and professionals in many fields. However, peer review, although universally used, has many drawbacks. We propose replacing peer review with an auction-based approach: the better the submitted paper, the more scientific currency the author likely bid to have it published. If the bid correctly reflects the paper's quality, the author is rewarded in this new scientific currency; otherwise, the author loses this currency. We argue that citations are an appropriate currency for all scientists. We believe that citation auctions encourage scientists to better control their submissions' quality. It also inspire them to prepare more exciting talks for accepted papers and to invite discussion of their results at congresses and conferences and among their colleagues. In the long run, citation auctions could have the power to greatly improve scientific research

Citation auctions as a method to improve selection of scientific papers

This paper describes the basis of citation auctions as a new approach to selecting scientific papers for publication. Our main idea is to use an auction for selecting papers for publication through - differently from the state of the art - bids that consist of the number of citations that a scientist expects to receive if the paper is published. Hence, a citation auction is the selection process itself, and no reviewers are involved. The benefits of the proposed approach are two-fold. First, the cost of refereeing will be either totally eliminated or significantly reduced, because the process of citation auction does not need prior understanding of the paper's content to judge the quality of its contribution. Additionally, the method will not prejudge the content of the paper, so it will increase the openness of publications to new ideas. Second, scientists will be much more committed to the quality of their papers, paying close attention to distributing and explaining their papers in detail to maximize the number of citations that the paper receives. Sample analyses of the number of citations collected in papers published in years 1999-2004 for one journal, and in years 2003-2005 for a series of conferences (in a totally different discipline), via Google scholar, are provided. Finally, a simple simulation of an auction is given to outline the behaviour of the citation auction approach

De la morbilidad a la perdurabildad : caso empresarial multiproyectos

El presente trabajo de grado es el resultado del proyecto de investigación realizado con el Centro de estudios empresariales para la perdurabilidad (CEEP) y el grupo de investigación empresarial de la facultad de Administración de la Universidad del Rosario, donde se muestra el trabajo de una de las tres líneas que ha venido realizando el grupo de investigación: perdurabilidad empresarial, aprendizaje de resurgimiento y condiciones de incidencia que permitan que las pequeñas y medianas empresas perduren en la línea de tiempo en el contexto Colombiano. En el presente escrito se encuentran los resultados de los análisis y la información recolectada para el caso de la empresa Multiproyectos, empresa que obtuvo el premio ave fénix en el año 2007, el cual destaca el resurgimiento de las empresas que se vieron envueltas en la crisis y que por fruto de su esfuerzo, sinergia y ardua disciplina lograron superarla.
