    Regional and global science: Publications from Latin America and the Caribbean in the <em>SciELO Citation Index</em> and the <em>Web of Science</em>

    Get PDF
    In this article the authors compare the visibility of Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) publications in the Core Collection indexes of the Web of Science (WoS) inlcuding Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Arts & Humanities Citation Index, and the SciELO Citation Index (SciELO CI) which was integrated into the larger WoS platform in 2014. The purpose of this comparison is to contribute to the broader understanding of the communication of scientific knowledge produced in Latin America and the Caribbean, and to provide some reflections on the potential benefits of the articulation of regional indexing exercises into WoS for a better understanding of geographic and disciplinary contributions. How is the regional level of SciELO CI related to the global range of WoS? In WoS, LAC authors are integrated at the global level in international networks, while SciELO has provided a platform for interactions among LAC researchers. The articulation of SciELO into WoS may improve the international visibility of the regional journals, but at the cost of own journal inclusion criteria independence

    "Meaning" as a sociological concept: A review of the modeling, mapping, and simulation of the communication of knowledge and meaning

    Full text link
    The development of discursive knowledge presumes the communication of meaning as analytically different from the communication of information. Knowledge can then be considered as a meaning which makes a difference. Whereas the communication of information is studied in the information sciences and scientometrics, the communication of meaning has been central to Luhmann's attempts to make the theory of autopoiesis relevant for sociology. Analytical techniques such as semantic maps and the simulation of anticipatory systems enable us to operationalize the distinctions which Luhmann proposed as relevant to the elaboration of Husserl's "horizons of meaning" in empirical research: interactions among communications, the organization of meaning in instantiations, and the self-organization of interhuman communication in terms of symbolically generalized media such as truth, love, and power. Horizons of meaning, however, remain uncertain orders of expectations, and one should caution against reification from the meta-biological perspective of systems theory

    Data envelopment analysis in financial services: a citations network analysis of banks, insurance companies and money market funds

    Get PDF
    Development and application of the data envelopment analysis (DEA) method, have been the subject of numerous reviews. In this paper, we consider the papers that apply DEA methods specifically to financial services, or which use financial services data to experiment with a newly introduced DEA model. We examine 620 papers published in journals indexed in the Web of Science database, from 1985 to April 2016. We analyse the sample applying citations network analysis. This paper investigates the DEA method and its applications in financial services. We analyse the diffusion of DEA in three sub-samples: (1) banking groups, (2) money market funds, and (3) insurance groups by identifying the main paths, that is, the main flows of the ideas underlying each area of research. This allows us to highlight the main approaches, models and efficiency types used in each research areas. No unique methodological preference emerges within these areas. Innovations in the DEA methodologies (network models, slacks based models, directional distance models and Nash bargaining game) clearly dominate recent research. For each subsample, we describe the geographical distribution of these studies, and provide some basic statistics related to the most active journals and scholars

    “Structuration” by intellectual organization: the configuration of knowledge in relations among structural components in networks of science

    Get PDF
    Using aggregated journal–journal citation networks, the measurement of the knowledge base in empirical systems is factor-analyzed in two cases of interdisciplinary developments during the period 1995–2005: (i) the development of nanotechnology in the natural sciences and (ii) the development of communication studies as an interdiscipline between social psychology and political science. The results are compared with a case of stable development: the citation networks of core journals in chemistry. These citation networks are intellectually organized by networks of expectations in the knowledge base at the specialty (that is, above-journal) level. The “structuration” of structural components (over time) can be measured as configurational information. The latter is compared with the Shannon-type information generated in the interactions among structural components: the difference between these two measures provides us with a measure for the redundancy generated by the specification of a model in the knowledge base of the system. This knowledge base incurs (against the entropy law) to variable extents on the knowledge infrastructures provided by the observable networks of relations

    Measurement of D0D0D^0-\overline{D}^0 mixing and search for CPCP violation with D0K+πD^0\rightarrow K^+\pi^- decays

    Full text link
    A measurement of the time-dependent ratio of the D0K+πD^0\rightarrow K^+\pi^- to D0K+π\overline{D}^0\rightarrow K^+\pi^- decay rates is reported. The analysis uses a sample of proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6 fb1^-1 recorded by the LHCb experiment from 2015 through 2018 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The D0D^0 meson is required to originate from a D+D0π+D^{*+}\rightarrow D^0\pi^+ decay, such that its flavor at production is inferred from the charge of the accompanying pion. The measurement is performed simultaneously for the K+πK^+\pi^- and Kπ+K^-\pi^+ final states, allowing both mixing and CPCP-violation parameters to be determined. The value of the ratio of the decay rates at production is determined to be RKπ=(343.1±2.0)×105R_{K\pi} = (343.1 \pm 2.0) \times 10^{-5}. The mixing parameters are measured to be cKπ=(51.4±3.5)×104c_{K\pi} = (51.4 \pm 3.5) \times 10^{-4} and cKπ=(13±4)×106c_{K\pi}^{\prime} = (13 \pm 4) \times 10^{-6}, where RKπcKπ\sqrt{R_{K\pi}}c_{K\pi} is the linear coefficient of the expansion of the ratio as a function of decay time in units of the D0D^0 lifetime, and cKπc_{K\pi}^{\prime} is the quadratic coefficient, both averaged between the K+πK^+\pi^- and Kπ+K^-\pi^+ final states. The precision is improved relative to the previous best measurement by approximately 60%. No evidence for CPCP violation is found.Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lhcbproject.web.cern.ch/Publications/LHCbProjectPublic/LHCb-PAPER-2024-008.htm

    Search for the rare decay of charmed baryon Λc+ into the pμ+μ- final state

    Get PDF
    A search for the nonresonant Λc+→pμ+μ- decay is performed using proton-proton collision data recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb-1. No evidence for the decay is found in the dimuon invariant-mass regions where the expected contributions of resonances is subdominant. The upper limit on the branching fraction of the Λc+→pμ+μ- decay is determined to be 2.9(3.2)×10-8 at 90%(95%) confidence level. The branching fractions in the dimuon invariant-mass regions dominated by the η, ρ and ω resonances are also determined

    Search for the lepton-flavor violating decay Bs0 →φμ±τ

    Get PDF
    A search for the lepton-flavor violating decays Bs0→φμ±τ is presented, using a sample of proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, collected with the LHCb detector and corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 9 fb-1. The τ leptons are selected using decays with three charged pions. No significant excess is observed, and an upper limit on the branching fraction is determined to be B(Bs0→φμ±τ)&lt;1.0×10-5 at 90% confidence level

    Measurement of the branching fraction ratios R(D+)R(D^{+}) and R(D+)R(D^{*+}) using muonic τ\tau decays

    Full text link
    The branching fraction ratios of B0D+τντ\overline{B}^0\to D^+\tau^-\overline{\nu}_{\tau} and B0D+τντ\overline{B}^0\to D^{*+}\tau^-\overline{\nu}_{\tau} decays are measured with respect to their muonic counterparts, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.0 fb1^{-1} collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at s=13\sqrt{s} = 13 TeV. The reconstructed final states are formed by combining D+D^+ mesons with τμνμντ\tau^-\to\mu^-\overline{\nu}_{\mu}\nu_{\tau} candidates, where the D+D^+ is reconstructed via the D+Kπ+π+D^+\to K^-\pi^+\pi^+ decay. The results are \begin{align*} R(D^{+}) &= 0.249 \pm 0.043 \pm 0.047, R(D^{*+}) &= 0.402 \pm 0.081\pm 0.085, \end{align*} where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The two measurements have a correlation coefficient of 0.39-0.39 and are compatible with the Standard Model.Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lhcbproject.web.cern.ch/Publications/LHCbProjectPublic/LHCb-PAPER-2024-007.html (LHCb public pages
