This thesis has examined a selection of Swedish universities’ views on the Swedish national publication database SwePub. The study has phenomenography as its methodology, and by means of the survey it has asked questions about the universities’ local publication databases, the national guidelines on documenting a scientific publication and how the universities regard the whole SwePub analysis project.  The purpose was to find out how the universities perceive the whole SwePub phenomenon. For selecting participants in the survey, the selection criteria were size of the university, the subjects offered there and the publishing system used. Regarding the local publication databases, the answers have focused on the difficulties and opportunities with the registration of scientific work using the own publications database. In the section on guidelines, I discuss how the universities relate to two documents on SwePub guidelines and recommendations. The analysis deals with the national guidelines related to the local practice of the universities, where national guidelines may sometimes collide with the institution's own needs and wishes. The section of the analysis that deals with the institutions' views on the SwePub analysis project at large, relates the SwePub project to the terms function and relevance. In conclusion, I discuss to what extent I have found some patterns in the answers, linked to my selection criteria for the size of the university, subject area and type of publishing system.

Esta informação é muito importante para que um pesquisador selecione veículos de renome para publicar suas pesquisas, ou mesmo, instituições podem promover seus pesquisadores baseando-se na qualidade dos veículos onde publicam. Esta informação sobre os veículos pode também ser valiosa para um governo destinar recursos 'as instituições ou uma empresa avaliar a qualidade de um candidato a um emprego. Existem várias métricas distintas para realizar ranking de veículos, mas o ponto comum entre a maioria é o uso de citações. Portanto, por mais que um veículo seja bastante prestigiado pelos pesquisadores, se ele não for indexado em uma base sua qualidade não será considerada. Este trabalho propõe um método para ranking de veículos de publicação obtendo as informações não de uma base de citações existente, mas de uma outra fonte de dados: a Web. As páginas dos professores de universidades são visitadas e delas são extraídas as suas publicações. De cada publicação é extraído o veículo e dessa forma, baseado nos veículos que um pesquisador quis exibir em sua página, os mesmos são ordenados. Este método irá contemplar veículos de publicação não existentes nas atuais bases de dados criando um novo ranking de publicações. Vários problemas computacionais interessantes são abordados neste trabalho: busca de informação na internet, segmentação textual, extração de componentes em uma referência bibliográfica e agrupamento / Abstract: Several current ranking methods compare different publication venues in relation to quality or impact. This information is very important for a researcher to choose renowned venues to publish his research. Institutes could promote their researchers based on the quality of places they have published. This information about the venues can also be valuable for a government to allocate resources to universities, or for companies to evaluate the quality of a candidate for a job. There are other distinct measures to perform a ranking of venues, but the idea in common among most of them is the use of citations. Therefore, despite the fact a venue is very prestigious for its researchers, if it is not indexed in a citation database, it will not be considered, since its "quality" cannot be measured. This work proposes to construct a ranking of publication venues obtaining the information not from a database, but from another data source: the Web. The university professor's webpages are visited to extract the publications. The venue is extracted from each publication, and thus, based on venues which a researcher wanted to show in his webpage, they are ranked. This method will include publication venues that do not exist in current databases, creating a new ranking of publications. Many interesting computational problems are discussed in this work: information search on the internet, text segmentation, extraction of components in a bibliographic citation, and clustering / Mestrado / Metodologia e Tecnicas da Computação / Mestre em Ciência da Computação

It was made a sociometric study of descriptive character, involving 223 articles from 78 journals. For this, the articles were divided in six thematic areas - Portfolio Theory, Capital Structure and Dividend Policy, CAPM, Market Efficiency, Price Options and Behavior Finance. Moreover, it was made the presentation of the cooperation social networks, splitting authors and institutions according to the thematic areas. Subsequently, it was made the analysis of the areas and institutions that most represent the publications in the searched population, as well as how the building of this knowledge occurred, based on the concepts of normal science and Thomas Kuhn paradigm. The following results were obtained, mapped and followed by the social network analysis (SNA): a) the theories that compose the Modern Finance Theory have their constitution anomalous concerning the paradigms; b) in the normal course of science, response to crisis was through new finance and its behavior model; c) the results presented between the dichotomy full and limited rationality in finance fit in the concept of normal science, according to its building course; d) Finance is a research area that has already presented its scientific paradigm; e) the comparison between the periods of published research and the knowledge building, in various moments, occurs through pre-paradigmatic periods, and its first divergence point was defined based on the real behavior factor. The answer was the insurgence and the insertion of behavior models in agents' decisions, which appeared in publications only in the last two decades, even under questionings of the dominant paradigm. / Nesta pesquisa, o objetivo foi identificar, sob a perspectiva da teoria de constru????o do conhecimento, os autores e as institui????es de destaque envolvidos na ??rea de publica????o da pesquisa em finan??as, entre 1979 e 2012, para acompanhar como ocorreu a constru????o do conhecimento nessa ??rea. Foi feito um estudo sociom??trico de car??ter descritivo, com 223 artigos, oriundos de 78 peri??dicos. Para tanto, os artigos foram divididos em seis ??reas tem??ticas - Teoria do Portfolio, Estrutura de Capital e Pol??tica de Dividendos, CAPM, Efici??ncia de Mercado, Precifica????o de Op????es e Finan??as Comportamentais - e foi feita a apresenta????o das redes sociais de coopera????o, dividindo autores e institui????es em conformidade com as ??reas tem??ticas. Posteriormente, procedeu-se ?? analise das ??reas e institui????es que mais representaram publica????es na popula????o pesquisada, e como ocorreu a constru????o desse conhecimento, a partir dos conceitos de ci??ncia normal e do paradigma de Thomas Kuhn. Foram obtidos os seguintes resultados, mapeados e acompanhados pela an??lise de rede social (ARS): a) as teorias componentes da MTF t??m sua constitui????o an??mala com rela????o aos paradigmas; b) na rota normal da ci??ncia, a resposta ?? crise foi por meio das novas finan??as e de seu modelo comportamental; c) os resultados entre a dicotomia da racionalidade plena e a limitada nas finan??as apresentaram-se e se encaixam no conceito de ci??ncia normal, de acordo com sua rota de constru????o; d) Finan??as foi uma ??rea de pesquisa a qual j?? apresentou seu paradigma cient??fico; e) a compara????o entre os per??odos da pesquisa publicada e a constru????o do conhecimento passa em diversos momentos por per??odos pr??-paradigm??ticos, e tem seu primeiro ponto de diverg??ncia definido com o fator comportamental comprovado; a resposta foi o surgimento e a inser????o dos modelos comportamentais nas decis??es dos agentes, que surgiu nas publica????es somente nas ??ltimas duas d??cadas, mesmo sob questionamentos do paradigma dominante.

A research was done on bibliometric at international level concerning the years of 2000 thru 2015. There were 57 articles identified and analyzed. The results show that there was a sharper evolution from the research of this subject matter after 2011. The University of Sfax in Tunisia and the Journal of Financial Economics outshined in the publishings of this subject matter. The authors Abdelfettah Bouri, Ezzeddine Ben Mohamed, Geoffrey Tate and Ulrike Malmendier were the most prolific in the period. The study ???CEO overconfidence and corporate investment??? of Geoffrey Tate and Ulrike Malmendier was the most mentioned, becoming a reference of the model of measuring the biases of overconfidence and optimism to other researchers. Merges and acquisions, cash flow sensibility, Corporate Investiments and structure of Capital were the issues most addressed by the researches. Concludes that the main issue about Behavioral Corporate Finance is still emergent and in a maturation phase, however of extreme importance, as the biased managements?? decisions can evoke significant impacts in many areas of the companies. Therefore, this study contributes to the knowldege and diffusion of this subject matter in Brazil, promoting a reflection about the questionings that are still in open and poiting to directions, in a way to propitiane other brazilian researchers to develop future studies. / Este estudo investiga a produ????o cient??fica em Finan??as Corporativas Comportamentais, especialmente os trabalhos que tratam dos vieses do excesso de confian??a e do otimismo gerencial. Conduziu-se uma pesquisa bibliom??trica de ??mbito internacional concernente ao per??odo de 2000 a 2015. Identificaram-se e analisaram-se 57 artigos. Os resultados mostraram que houve evolu????o mais acentuada das pesquisas sobre esse tema a partir de 2011. A University of Sfax e o Journal of Financial Economics destacaram-se nas publica????es de artigos relacionados a esse assunto. Durante esse tempo, os autores Abdelfettah Bouri, Ezzeddine Ben Mohamed, Geoffrey Tate e Ulrike Malmendier foram os mais prol??ficos. O estudo ???CEO overconfidence and corporate investment???, de Geoffrey Tate e Ulrike Malmendier, foi o mais citado, de modo a ter-se tornado uma refer??ncia de modelo de medida dos vieses excesso de confian??a e otimismo para outros pesquisadores. Fus??es e aquisi????es, sensibilidade ao fluxo de caixa, investimentos corporativos e estrutura de capital foram os temas mais abordados pelas pesquisas. Concluiu-se que a quest??o tocante ??s Finan??as Corporativas Comportamentais ainda ?? emergente e em fase amadurecimento, mas de extrema import??ncia, visto que as decis??es de gestores enviesados podem suscitar impactos significativos em diversas ??reas das empresas. Este estudo contribui, portanto, para o conhecimento e a difus??o desse tema no Brasil, promovendo uma reflex??o acerca das quest??es que ainda se encontram em aberto e apontando caminhos, de forma a propiciar que outros pesquisadores brasileiros possam desenvolver futuras pesquisas.

This PhD thesis takes a ’micro’ perspective on the production of higher education and research. More precisely, I use tools of industrial organization to study two individual institutions involved in their production process. The second chapter studies universities, the main producers of higher education and research, and the third and fourth chapters analyze scientific journals, which are central in the production and the dissemination of science. Besides being crucial nodes in the production and transmission of<p>knowledge, these institutions, interestingly, share other common characteristics: they both emerged before the Industrial Revolution, their importance increased over the centuries and they seem unavoidable today, and many actors are private not-for-profit. / Doctorat en Sciences économiques et de gestion / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
