[spa] Narrar la experiencia que se vive como docentes-investigadoras(es) es el eje central del estudio, cuya valoración se centra en las posibilidades que abren a pensar los relatos de docentes, tanto para los y las participantes como para los posibles lectores. Esta exploración considera tres ejes relacionales: la narrativa, como fenómeno y método; la experiencia de docentes-investigadoras(es); y los estudiantes que aprenden ciencias, investigando. Los OBJETIVOS GENERALES son: 1) Acompañar formando parte del grupo de docentes-investigadores(as) en la experiencia de explorar sobre la enseñanza de las ciencias 2) Indagar narrativamente en los procesos de investigación, para atisbar lo que surja de ello y que pueda servirnos para seguir repensando la enseñanza de las ciencias y el saber pedagógico que nace en la escuela. Ambos objetivos han sido pensados conjuntamente, dependientes uno del otro: la indagación narrativa ha favorecido el acompañamiento y posibilitado un proceso reflexivo; y el acompañar a los docentes en este recorrido ha sido el sustrato de la relación entre investigadora y participantes, y por ende la esencia de esta indagación narrativa. La METODOLOGÍA del estudio es de tipo cualitativo desde una perspectiva de la indagación narrativa, que atiende a la tridimensionalidad espacio, tiempo y relación, donde se ha puesto el foco en el saber de la experiencia, que no representa sucesos factibles de transferir, sino que puedan anunciar algo que luego cobre sentido solo por la propia experiencia, acercándose a quien lo vive e intentando experimentarlo por sí mismo. El estudio se ha realizado por un período de cinco años (2018 al 2022). Los PARTICIPANTES son: cuatro profesoras de ciencias de educación media, un maestro asesor de ciencias y una coordinadora pedagógica. Todos de una misma escuela de Santiago de Chile. A partir de los registros de campo se han ido co-componiendo relatos de la experiencia vivida, cuyas principales temáticas son: los cambios en los movimientos educativos, con sus tanteos, aciertos y tropiezos; la experiencia de investigar en la propia práctica; la generación de un saber pedagógico que nace del interior de la escuela como fuente de formación; la valoración del saber de la experiencia; y la conformación de una identidad y presencia como maestras y maestros., [eng] Narrating the experience as teacher-researchers is the central focus of the study, whose evaluation is centered on the possibilities of thinking about the teachers' narratives for both the participants and possible readers. This research considers three relational axes: the narrative as phenomenon and method; the teacher-researchers' experience; and students learning science by researching. The GENERAL OBJECTIVES are 1) To accompany as part of the group of teacher-researchers in the experience of exploring science teaching and 2) To inquire narratively into the research processes to glimpse what arises from it and what can help us to continue rethinking the teaching of science and the pedagogical knowledge that is born in the school. The two objectives have been designed together, dependent on each other: narrative inquiry has favored accompaniment and enabled a reflective process; and accompanying the teachers in this process has been the basis of the relationship between the researcher and the participants, thus the essence of this narrative inquiry. The METHODOLOGY of the study is of a qualitative type from a narrative inquiry perspective, attending to the three-dimensionality of space, time, and relationship, where the focus has been placed on the knowledge of experience, which does not represent events that can be transferred, but rather can announce something that later makes sense only through the experience itself, approaching those who live it and try to experience it for themselves. The study has been conducted for a five-year period (2018 to 2022). The PARTICIPANTS are: four middle school science teachers, a science teacher advisor, and a pedagogical coordinator. All from the same school in Santiago de Chile. From the field records, stories of the lived experience have been co-composed, whose main themes are: changes in educational movements, with their attempts, successes, and setbacks; the experience of doing research in one's own practice; the generation of pedagogical knowledge that is born from the school as a source of formation; the valuing of experiential knowledge; and the shaping of an identity and presence as teachers.

Researchers make hundreds of decisions about data collection, preparation, and analysis in their research. We use a many‐analysts approach to measure the extent and impact of these decisions. Two published causal empirical results are replicated by seven replicators each. We find large differences in data preparation and analysis decisions, many of which would not likely be reported in a publication. No two replicators reported the same sample size. Statistical significance varied across replications, and for one of the studies the effect's sign varied as well. The standard deviation of estimates across replications was 3-4 times the mean reported standard error.

Treballs Finals de Màster de Comunicació Especialitzada, Facultat de Filologia, Universitat de Barcelona, Curs: 2018-2019, Tutora: Maria Carme Junyent Figueras, [eng] Currently, the success of a scientist depends on the rate of productivity of articles and the journal impact factor of its research. This implies publishing in English. Currently, more than 90% of science publications are written in English, including among researchers from non-English-speaking countries. Among the peripheral countries, Colombia is the third most unequal territory in the world and invests only 0.67% of its GDP in science and technology. This country is also placed among the countries with the lowest English proficiency in the world. Understanding what are the disadvantages faced by scientists in this country in the production of articles is crucial to reduce global inequality in this field. The main objective of this work is to quantify the disadvantages that English generates on the production of scientific articles and oral presentations in 49 Colombian doctoral students of biological sciences. Among the results, it was determined that publishing in English creates additional costs for doctoral students at an economic level, anxiety level, reading comprehension, ease and writing time, among others. Additionally, there is a relationship between some of the costs and the socioeconomic origin of the researcher. Finally, the experience of the TIPPs service of the Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá, shows us a possibility to face the problem from the maintenance of monolingualism in science, however, in this study we discuss how other alternatives are possible., [spa] En el presente, el éxito de un científico depende de su tasa de productividad de artículos y el factor de impacto de la revista donde se publique, esto implica publicar en inglés. Actualmente, más del 90% de las publicaciones en ciencia son escritas en inglés, inclusive entre los investigadores de países no angloparlantes nativos. Entre los países periféricos, Colombia es el tercer territorio más desigual del mundo e invierte únicamente un 0.67% de su PIB en ciencia y tecnología, hecho que lo sitúa entre los países con más bajo dominio de inglés en el mundo. Entender cuáles son las desventajas que enfrentan los científicos de este país en la producción de artículos es crucial para disminuir la desigualdad global en este campo. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es cuantificar las desventajas que genera el inglés sobre la producción de artículos científicos y presentaciones orales en 49 doctorandos colombianos de ciencias biológicas. Entre los resultados se determinó que publicar en inglés crea costos adicionales sobre los doctorandos a nivel económico, nivel de ansiedad, compresión de lectura, facilidad y tiempo de escritura, entre otros. Adicionalmente, que existe una relación entre algunos de los costos y el origen socioeconómico del investigador. Por último, la experiencia del servicio TIPPs de la Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá, nos muestra una posibilidad para hacer frente al problema desde el mantenimiento del monolingüismo en la ciencia, no obstante, en este estudio se discute como otras alternativas son posibles.

The Integrated Management System (IMS) seems to be a suitable strategy to manage multiple systems that have to meet the needs and expectations of various stakeholders. The main objective of this research is to establish the guiding principles of IMS and the essential elements for its development and maintenance in order to move towards unifying a starting point in the literature. This objective was reached through a systematic content analysis with focus on the content analysis of the most cited articles of Scopus and Web of Science databases from 2006 to 2016. The results indicate the existence of 28 elements for development and implementation of IMS. Through the critical analysis of these elements 6 principles of IMS were systematized: 1) Systemic Management; 2) Standardization; 3) Strategic, tactic and operational integration; 4) Organizational learning; 5) Debureaucratization; and 6) Continuous Improvement. Each principle is a pillar for development and maintenance of IMS. The scientific contribution of this study is that it represents a starting point towards the establishment of the IMS theory. Moreover, taking into account these results one can homogenize the basis of IMS, providing research results with a higher degree of comparability. The results of this work may also help company managers better target their efforts in the management of the IMS, serving as a guideline to assist them in developing and maintaining each one of the abovementioned pillars. The best of the authors’ knowledge, this is one of the first attempts to unify the literature.

The Research Topic Systematic observation: Engaging researchers in the study of daily life as it is lived (Section Quantitative Psychology and Measurement) faithfully reflects the interest of many researchers to conduct studies based on a methodology that is essentially characterized by being highly flexible and rigorous, and that aims to capture reality as it happens when studying it scientifically. The analysis of a part of reality is complex, given the multifaceted nature of any aspect of daily life. This complexity is manifested in numerous aspects to be considered, from the initial filtering that must be done to conveniently delimit the part of reality to be studied, to the structuring of the ideal observational design, the construction of a customized instrument that allows to properly channel all the behaviors/elements to be observed around the axes or dimensions around which the studied reality pivots, the materialization of a suitably coded record, the management of the records, data quality control, its subsequent analysis, and the interpretation of the results. This process is none other than the scientific method, although adapted to the reality of natural situations, in which it is not possible or convenient to apply the control that other methodologies offer, given that the spontaneity of behavior and the habituality of the context are of primary concern. In a schematic way, we could say that in the systematic observation the face and cross of a same coin are focused: "Face" because its proven versatility and adaptability make it extremely interesting and demanded in innumerable situations, and "cross" because the rigor of the own scientific method gives it a very estimable value that prestige such studies, as shown in the scientific community. The fact that Frontiers in Psychology, a prestigious scientific journal of high visibility around the world, had accepted the proposal of this Research Topic, gives more body and arguments in favor of systematic observation to the scientific community. The 23 articles that make up the Research Topic Systematic observation: Engaging researchers in the study of daily life as it is lived are organized from a substantive point of view in different criteria, although each of the published articles could have been "classified" from several points of view.

Purpose – Mexico is an OECD member country that historically has allocated less than half a per cent of its gross domestic product to spend on research and experimental development. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the country’s science and technology policy through its main program, the National System of Researchers (SNI), an attempt made for the first time. The results obtained make it possible to see whether the SNI has succeeded in improving research in Mexico. The authors also look at whether the program provides ways of improving and strengthening the science policy model adopted by Mexico and whether it could be extended and/or introduced into other nearby countries with levels of development or characteristics similar to those of Mexico. Design/methodology/approach – After that, the authors will analyze the scientific productivity of SNI members in comparison to Mexican researchers as a whole so as to assess both whether the SNI selects the best researchers and whether these researchers carry out more research and of a higher quality. Finally, the authors will check whether the selection criteria of the assessment committees are internally consistent. To do this, the authors will carry out a bibliometric analysis of Mexican scientific production (overall and specifically of SNI members) and an analysis of the groups of researchers belonging to the SNI. Findings – The aim of this paper is to discover the impact and importance of the best program in Mexico as regards research policy, known as the SNI. Analyzing it will, in short, enable the authors to detect whether the program has been of use in improving the investigation potential and capacity for science and technology transfer of the research elite in Mexico; check whether the levels assigned to these researchers within the SNI are justified, based on research indicators (inputs and outputs); and assess the pros and cons of the SNI program with an eye to reviewing it in Mexico. Research limitations/implications – A limitation of using cross-sectional data is that information is not the same in each period analyzed. However, the SNI of Mexico has used the same information in all its evaluations. Therefore, the authors believe that using longitudinal data allows us to compare the evolution of SNI for various periods. This certainly is helpful for making decisions and, above all, provides first-hand information to the authorities who, in turn, should strengthen and make more efficient remedial measures regarding public policies on science and technology in Mexico. Practical implications – SNI assessment program will know the science and technology of Mexico and whether it is advisable to implement this program of science policy in similar economies or the same level of development as Mexico. Social implications – The contributions of this study are relevant to the extent that the evaluation system of researchers from Mexico is the basis for allocating research resources, making proposals to help improve the system for evaluating researchers and contributing to efficiency in the allocation of resources for research. Originality/value – This paper has also applied different techniques that have made it possible to look more thoroughly into the classification of all the researchers who were assessed positively by the SNI for period 1996-2003. These techniques have enabled us to obtain alternative classifications based on statistical algorithms and to gauge the level of internal consistency of the classifications made by the SNI, based strictly on the quantitative information supplied.

Resumen El Sistema Nacional de Investigadores de México (SNI) evalúa, selecciona y reconoce, mediante un estímulo económico, el capital humano nacional que realiza investigación de calidad. Esta logística puede ser considerada como una selección de proyectos, la cual conlleva, obligatoriamente, a la elección de capital humano especializado. En este artículo se utiliza la técnica de análisis y agrupamiento de datos conocida como clustering (k Means) para profundizar sobre los criterios seguidos por el SNI en cuanto a dicha elección de investigadores. Una vez que se conoce el perfil productivo de cada nombramiento definido por el SNI, y a través de la distancia de Hamming, se realiza un análisis comparativo entre los datos estimados y reales asociados a cada nombramiento. Las estimaciones permitieron concluir que no se justifica la actual clasificación en cuatro agrupaciones (nombramientos), tal vez ello se deba a que los evaluadores del SNI utilizan información no recolectada en las variables reportadas por las solicitudes. Además, se demuestra la necesidad de mejorar la información estadística utilizada como base de datos para la evaluación; se señalan las diferencias en las clasificaciones estimadas para las siete áreas del conocimiento definidas por el SNI y se recomiendan algunos de los resultados para complementar las evaluaciones por pares, realizadas actualmente, siempre que se mejore la cantidad y calidad de la información disponible. Sin duda, ello debe de servir para hacer más eficiente la futura selección de proyectos de investigación y desarrollo concernientes a un programa de la política pública de investigación en México. Abstract The National System of Researchers of Mexico (SNI) evaluates, selects, and recognized by an economic stimulus to national human capital that makes quality research. This logistics can be considered as a selection of projects, which leads, inevitably, to the choice of specialized human capital. This article uses the technique of analysis and clustering of data known as clustering (k Means) to deepen on the criteria followed by the NSR with regard to the choice of researchers. Once the productive profile of each appointment defined by SNI, and through the Hamming distance is known, is a comparison between the actual and estimated data associated with each appointment. Estimates allowed to conclude that it is not justified the current classification into four groups (appointments), perhaps this is due to that the evaluators of the SNI used information not collected on variables reported by requests. In addition, demonstrates the need for improved statistical information used as the database for the evaluation; the differences that exist in the ratings for the seven knowledge areas defined by the SNI and recommended some of the results to supplement assessments by peers today, provided that improvements are designated the quantity and quality of available information. Certainly, this should serve to streamline the future selection of projects of research and development concerning a programme of public policy research in Mexico.

This paper analyzes the capacities of BR Survey Research Groups in generating science and technology, and how these groups may be associated with university-firm interactions. To this end, we perform a classification based on the diagram proposed by Stokes (2005), using the qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) statistical technique. As a primary result, we find that scientific and technological capacity on the part of the research groups is not a necessary condition for interactions with companies. Indeed, some research groups without high scientific and technological capacity make more interactions (in terms of the total amount) and yield similar values in the analysis (relative to the number of researchers) in comparison with the most qualified groups: those located in Pasteur’s quadrant., Este artículo analiza las competencias de los grupos de investigación de la BR Survey en la generación de ciencia y tecnología y cómo pueden estos asociarse en interacción con las empresas. Para esta observación, hicimos una clasificación de los grupos conforme a la propuesta del cuadrante de Stokes (2005) y mediante la técnica estadística qualitative comparative analysis (QCA). Como resultado principal, se puede destacar que la competencia científica y tecnológica de los grupos de investigación no es una condición necesaria para que se incluyan en interacciones con empresas, habiendo aún grupos de investigación sin capacitación científica y tecnológica que realizan más interacciones en el quantum total y tienen valores cercanos en el análisis relativo al número de investigadores que los de grupos más capacitados, aquellos situados en el cuadrante de Pasteur.

[spa] FUNDAMENTACIÓN TEÓRICA Y CONTEXTUAL: La Economía y la Sociedad del Conocimiento demandan la producción y difusión de conocimiento de vanguardia, por ello adquiere relevancia el postgrado en su labor de formación de investigadores. En favor de este nivel de estudio se emiten políticas internacionales, nacionales y universitarias, con el propósito de optimizar sus procesos educativos, curriculares, tutoriales, colegiados y administrativos que fortalezcan la conformación de cuadros especializados en investigación. OBJETIVOS: De los programas de doctorados de la Universidad Veracruzana se propone: 1) Valorar el efecto de las políticas educativas internacionales, nacionales e institucionales en el desarrollo de la investigación que realizan los estudiantes de postgrado. 2) Explorar las condiciones institucionales de los doctorados, bajo las cuales se organiza y realizan investigación sus estudiantes. 3) Examinar el papel que brindan los apoyos humanos y materiales, al desarrollo de la investigación de los estudiantes de doctorado. 4) Evaluar la operatividad didáctica del proceso de investigación desarrollado en los doctorados. METODOLOGÍA: Se aborda la investigación con una metodología mixta. Con base en guiones validados se realizan entrevistas semiestructuradas para recuperar información del Coordinador General de Posgrado y de los cuatro Coordinadores Regionales elegidos con muestreo completo. Del total de veintiséis Coordinadores de Doctorado, es seleccionada una muestra de casos típicos y extremos y se entrevistan a 8 de los típicos elegidos aleatoriamente y a 9 de los extremos con un total del 89.47% de esta muestra. Se realizan dos grupos focales con Directores de Tesis. Del total de 186 estudiantes, se aplica un cuestionario validado a 51 de ellos elegidos aleatoriamente, que equivale al 83.60% de esta muestra. Se analizan los datos con el Atlas.ti y el SPSS. Los datos de las distintas fuentes fueron triangulados. RESULTADOS: En el postgrado de la Universidad Veracruzana se identifican: a) una fuerte incidencia de las políticas nacionales en su desarrollo; b) una importante rendición de cuentas de la producción académica a costa de una intensa labor burocrática de los académicos; c) una carencia de modelo educativo del postgrado, vacío curricular ocupado por indicadores de naturaleza sumativa de productos y resultados del organismo nacional acreditador que guían los procesos de formación de investigadores; d) fortalezas en torno a las líneas de investigación de sus doctorados, desarrolladas por una valiosa planta académica que mediante enseñanza artesanal intuitiva y empírica, lleva a cabo su labor tutorial y colegiada con la cual diagnostican, planean, operan y evalúan el proceso formativo de investigación de los estudiantes, el que es realizado con recursos financieros, materiales y de infraestructura de mediana suficiencia; e) diversos procesos de incorporación de sus estudiantes a la vida académica del doctorado; f) procesos de aprendizajes por socialización de los estudiantes valorados por sus académicos como relevantes; g) un proceso de graduación con resultados positivos de índices de eficiencia terminal y el desarrollo de rasgos de competencia investigadora que incluyen habilidades, actitudes y valores. CONCLUSIONES: Consolidar la formación de investigadores en los doctorados de la Universidad Veracruzana demanda políticas institucionales del postgrado renovadas y la flexibilización de su estructura académico-administrativa para integrar sus funciones sustantivas y potenciar las fortalezas de sus académicos y colegiados. Medidas que debieran incluir una ruta propia de investigación y un modelo educativo para el postgrado, con mayor apoyo financiero para lograr también la oferta equitativa de sus doctorados., [eng] THEORETICAL AND CONTEXTUAL BACKGROUND: Economy and Knowledge Society demand for the production and dissemination of Avantguard knowledge. This is the reason why postgraduate studies become relevant in the making of researchers. International, national and university policies are issued in favor of this level of studies with the purpose of optimizing educational curricula, tutorials, and collegiate and administrative processes to strengthen the makeup of specialized research bodies. OBJECTIVES: Regarding the PhD programs of the Universidad Veracruzana, the following is proposed: 1) Assess the effect of international, national and institutional education policies within the development of the research carried out by postgraduate students. 2) explore the institutional conditions of PhD programs under which, research is organized and carried out by the students 3) examine the role of human support and materials for the development of research of the students in PhD programs 4) evaluate the educational effectiveness of the research process developed in PhD programs. METHODOLOGY: The research is achieved with a mixed methodology. Based on validated scripts, semi structured interviews are carried out in order to retrieve information from the General Coordinator of Postgraduate Studies as well as from the four Regional Coordinators elected, having a complete sampling. A sample is selected from the total of twenty six Coordinators of PhD Programs. The sample belongs to typical as well as extreme cases. 8 of the typical cases and 9 extreme cases randomly selected are interviewed. This cases represent 89.47% of the total sampling. Two focal groups with their thesis directors are created. From the total of 186 students a questionnaire is randomly applied to 51, representing 83.60% of the total sampling. Data collected are analyzed using Atlas.ti and SPSS. The data from the different sources were triangulated. RESULTS: In the Postgraduate studies at the Universidad Veracruzana the following is identified: a) a source for a strong occurrence of the national policies in its development b) an important accountability as to the academic production at the expense of an intense bureaucratic work by the academics c) the lack of a postgraduate education model, a curricula gap occupied by indicators of summative nature as to the products and results from the national accreditation body which lead processes of researchers’ training. d) the strengths around research of PhD students, developed by a valuable academic body which though empiric, intuitive artisanal teaching achieves its tutorial and collegiate task. Such a task involving diagnosis, planning, operation and evaluation of the training process for students’ research. This, achieved with financial resources, materials, and infrastructure that are not fully sufficient e) diverse incorporation processes of such students to the academic life of the PhD f) learning processes through socializing of the students valued by their academics as relevant. g) a process of graduation with positive results in the rating of efficiency and the development of traits related to research competence that include abilities, attitudes and values. CONCLUSIONS: Consolidate the training of researchers in the PhD programs in the Universidad Veracruzana calls for renovated postgraduate institutional policies and for the flexibility of it academic-administrative structure to incorporate its main functions and boost the strengths of its academics and collegiate members. Those measures should include a proper path of research and an educational model for the PhD, with more financial support to also achieve an equitable offer for their PhD students.

Open access (OA) mandates are policies that require researchers to provide free, unrestricted access to their published research by including it in OA journals (gold OA) or depositing it in freely available disciplinary or institutional repositories (green OA). This study measures the degree of compliance with a Spanish government OA mandate 2.5 years after its implementation. A total of 58.4% of articles resulting from publicly funded research had at least one OA copy available 1 year after publication. Among these, 23.8% were in gold OA, 21.8% in green OA and 12.8% in gray OA, i.e., posted on websites and social networks. Most of the green OA articles were in 2 disciplinary repositories: arXiv and PubMed Central. Just 14.4% of the articles resulting from publicly funded research were available in institutional repositories, although more than 90% of the articles in the data set were the result of projects carried out at institutions that have such an archive. There is great potential for growth in green OA, because over two thirds of the articles that were not available as OA were published in journals whose publishers allow a preprint or a postprint copy to be deposited.

Farmers and researchers in western Kenya have used community-based learning approaches to jointly develop a `dynamic expertise¿ of integrated soil fertility management (ISFM). This transformative learning approach builds on farmers' `folk ecology¿ and outsiders' knowledge, taking action research on natural resource management beyond methods that are descriptive (ethnopedology) or curriculum-driven (farmer field schools). The paper presents insights from a project's experience of applying the strengthening `folk ecology¿ approach in western Kenya, with emphasis on the community-based learning process, collective and individual experimentation, the power dynamics of farmer research groups, and learning from the farmer¿researcher interface. Farmer groups have been empowered by this approach but diversification into non-soil activities highlights the limitations of experimentation and the challenges of scaling up participatory action research

We currently witness an increased interest in ‘innovation platforms’ as an organisational model for stimulating innovation and development in agriculture and other sectors. This enthusiasm is shared by national and international research organisations, which expect that collaboration with platforms can enhance the relevance and impact of research. While the authors believe that there are indeed good grounds for embedding research activities in platforms settings, there are also many pitfalls. This report aims to support researchers in anticipating and avoiding such pitfalls.

Het is mei. Tenzij het regent, zijn de bijen de hele lange dag aan het zoeken en binnenhalen van nectar, stuifmeel, propolis, water. Dat foerageren gebeurt om te voorzien in de behoeften van het hele bijenvolk op dít moment: als het heet is moet er meteen water worden gehaald om het volk te koelen. Maar ook met het oog op de toekomst. De conditie van het bijenvolk is gevormd door de foerageeractiviteiten eerder in het voorjaar. Toen hebben de bijen hebben meer gehaald dan ze acuut nodig hadden, zodat ze heel veel eitjes en larven konden verzorgen, die nu een groot leger aan foerageerders vormen. Het einddoel ligt in de toekomst: zich vermeerderen én de komende winter glansrijk doorstaan.

L'estudi analitza l'impacte de les revistes digitals sobre la conducta informativa del personal docent i investigador de les universitats catalanes. El treball té com a punt de partida diverses investigacions quantitatives realitzades anteriorment, a partir de l'anàlisi de les dades d'ús de les revistes electròniques i d'enquestes entre el professorat universitari.En aquest treball es complementen els resultats previs amb l'obtenció de dades derivades de l'aplicació de tres tècniques qualitatives: l'enquesta oberta, l'entrevista i el grup de discussió.Els resultats corroboren la predisposició dels investigadors vers l'ús de les revistes digitals i un increment en la quantitat d'articles i de revistes consultades. No obstant, la lectura esdevé més superficial. La disponibilitat de recursos electrònics implica una davallada de les visites físiques a la biblioteca. La consulta sistemàtica de títols via web i les alertes per correu electrònic estan reemplaçant la consulta de novetats físicament a la biblioteca, i la cerca és una opció molt popular entre els investigadors per mantenir-se al dia en les seves àrees de coneixement. Els cercadors d'Internet, especialment Google i Google Scholar, s'han convertit en fonts d'informació molt importants per als acadèmics que, no obstant, experimenten problemes tant per gestionar la informació com per interactuar amb la diversitat de recursos que han de fer servir., The investigation examines the impact of journals on the information behavior of teachers and researchers from Catalan universities. The paper is a starting point to several previously performed quantitative research, based on analysis of data on use of electronic journals and surveys among university faculties. This work complements the previous results by obtaining data from the application of three qualitative methods: survey, open interview and discussion group. The results stress the openness of researchers towards the use of digital journals and an increase in the number of journal articles consulted. However, reading becomes shallower. The availability of electronic resources implies a decline in physical visits to the library. The systematic consultation of web titles and alerts are email updates of physically replacing the query to the library and the search option is very popular among researchers to keep abreast of knowledge in their areas. Internet search engines, especially Google and Google Scholar, have become important sources of information for scholars, however, they have experienced problems both for managing information as to interact with the diverse resources that researchers must used.

Lesgeven over ondernemerschap is niet eenvoudig: de docent moet beschikken over de laatste kennis en aansluiting hebben met ondernemers. Een nieuwe aanpak maakt duidelijk hoe de verbinding tussen onderzoek, onderwijs en ondernemers het best is op te pakken.

AFRICAN FEMINIST POLITICS OF KNOWLEDGE is a book that aims at exposing the dilemmas and conflicts that feminist researchers and practitioners living and working in the Global South have to deal with on a daily basis. The book attempts to disentangle some of the dilemmas, tensions, challenges and possibilities of feminist research and activism in the minefields of the cultures, practices and expectations of university bureaucracies, donor agencies and North-South collaboration. The authors, living and working in Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana and Mozambique, are all researchers. They theorise from their experiences as persons based in Africa, highlighting the dilemmas and conflicts posed by identities as academics and researchers on the one hand, and dependence on donor funding on the other.
