Esta pesquisa se propôs a analisar os momentos finais do percurso de autonomização do campo educacional na Universidade de São Paulo, concluído em 1970, com a criação da Faculdade de Educação. Para isso, elegeu como objeto o Departamento de Educação da Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras. Compreendendo a incorporação do antigo Instituto de Educação à Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras (1938) como marco inicial de um conjunto de conflitos e negociações entre agentes do campo educacional e os demais agentes do campo intelectual para a afirmação de posições no espaço institucional da USP, assume-se a hipótese de que esses conflitos e negociações se reorganizaram a partir dos constrangimentos e possibilidades surgidas no início da década de 1960, com a promulgação da Lei Federal nº 4.024/1961. Tal norma permitiu a emergência ainda que contraditória da departamentalização e do início do processo de superação das cátedras no ensino superior brasileiro, delegando a cada universidade a escolha pela manutenção do regime até então em vigor ou por sua substituição. Na USP, os Estatutos aprovados em 1962 deslocaram para cada unidade a definição de como enfrentaria a questão. A Faculdade de Filosofia optou pelo caminho da departamentalização, construindo seu novo Regulamento em 1963. O Departamento de Educação foi criado neste contexto, unindo as cátedras de Administração Escolar e Educação Comparada, História e Filosofia da Educação, Didática Geral e Especial e a disciplina autônoma de Orientação Educacional. Metodologicamente, este trabalho inscreve-se na perspectiva da história dos intelectuais (RIOUX, 1983; SIRINELLI, 1986, 1999, 2003), em diálogo com a produção de pesquisadores do campo da história da educação brasileira interessados nas questões da formação das elites intelectuais e da formação, ideias e ações dos intelectuais da educação (BONTEMPI Jr., 1995, 1999, 2001; WARDE 1995, 1998, 2003, entre outros). Dialogou-se, também, com o campo da sociologia, a partir da produção de Pierre Bourdieu sobre o campo universitário francês (BOURDIEU, 2011). As fontes privilegiadas foram: a) a documentação institucional produzida pela Universidade; b) as notícias veiculadas na imprensa paulista no período; c) dissertações de mestrado, teses de doutorado e livre docência produzidas logo após a reestruturação da USP e que analisavam suas consequências (CHAMILIAN, 1971; ANTUNHA, 1974); d) registros dos programas do curso de Pedagogia no período; e) nove entrevistas realizadas pelo pesquisador com ex-alunas e docentes da USP que se formaram pedagogas no período de 1962 a 1973. A investigação concluiu que a dinâmica de criação e funcionamento do Departamento de Educação da Faculdade de Filosofia dialogou com a criação e funcionamento de outras instâncias de legitimação do campo educacional na Universidade especialmente o Centro Regional de Pesquisas Educacionais de São Paulo e o Colégio de Aplicação e que, uma vez consolidado, aquele Departamento estruturou um conjunto de condições específicas que explicam parte importante da organização da Faculdade de Educação autônoma da USP. Os quadros intelectuais, as diretrizes d a formação dos estudantes e as estruturas e posições de poder que marcavam aquele Departamento foram preservadas quando da autonomização da escola de professores da Cidade Universitária. / This research sought to analyze the final stages of the process through which education scholars at the University of São Paulo (USP) gained institutional autonomy, concluding in 1970 with the creation of the School of Education. The focus of this study is therefore the Education Department at the Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Humanities. It is hypothesized that the conflicts and negotiations among education scholars and other intellectuals at USP began in 1938, after the Education Institute was incorporated into the Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Humanities. These institutional conflicts and negotiations are presumed to have evolved as a result of the new possibilities that emerged in the early 1960s, with the passing of Federal Law n 4.024/1961 (National Education Guidelines). Such law enabled the departmentalization of higher education in Brazil, while delegating to Universities the choice of maintaining or substituting the old cátedra (chair or professorship) model. At the University of São Paulo, the 1962 Statute granted academic units the power to define how the new mandates would be implemented. As such, the Faculty of Philosophy embraced departmentalization and issued a set of Bylaws in 1963. The Education Department was founded amidst these changes, by uniting the professorships of School Management and Comparative Education, History and Philosophy of Education, General and Content-Specific Pedagogy, as well as the independent discipline of Educational Counseling. Methodologically, this research falls into the study of intellectual history (RIOUX, 1983; SIRINELLI, 1986, 1999, 2003), and it contributes to the work of education historians interested in the formation of the Brazilian intellectual elite as well as the ideas and actions of education scholars (BONTEMPI Jr., 1995, 1999, 2001; WARDE 1995, 1998, 2003, among others). It also engages in dialogue with Pierre Bourdieus sociological analysis of higher education in France (BOURDIEU, 2011). The study draws from sources such as: a) institutional documents; b) 1960s and 70s news outlets from São Paulo press, c) doctoral dissertations and masters theses concluded immediately after the reorganization of the University, focusing on the consequences of such changes (CHAMILIAN, 1971; ANTUNHA, 1974), records of academic programs taken up by Pedagogy professors during the period under consideration and a set of nine interviews conducted by the author with former students and professors of the USP School of Education who graduated between 1962 and 1973. The study concludes that the dynamics put in place with the creation of the Education Department at the Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Humanities coincided with other sources of legitimization of education scholarship at the University particularly, the founding of the São Paulo Regional Center for Educational Research (CRPE/SP) and the Universitys Research School. It argues that, once established, the Department built up a set of conditions that were sustained until the later organization of the School of Education as an autonomous entity within the University. In fact, the intellectual hierarchies of the Department, as well as the guidelines that framed students academic trajectories were preserved upon the official separation of the USP teachers school.

Esta pesquisa e um estudo exploratorio e descritivo que analisa periodicos científicos brasileiros da area de Ciencias Sociais e de Humanidades indexados na base SciELO. A metodologia adotada consistiu na aplicacao parcial do modelo de avaliacao de periódicos desenvolvido por Bomfa (2003). A analise, realizada com os 73 titulos, foi ancorada, principalmente, em criterios de qualidade extrinsecos dos periodicos. No entanto, tambem foi realizada caracterizacao dos periodicos com base em indicadores qualitativos, tais como idioma de publicacao, indexacao em bases de dados e classificacao Qualis; bem como, por indicadores quantitativos relacionados aos periodicos, como: fator de impacto, vida media, citacoes concedidas, citacoes recebidas, numero de fasciculos, numero de artigos e numero de acessos aos periodicos. Os resultados mostram que com relacao as caracteristicas extrinsecas, esses periodicos tem evoluido significativamente e ja nao estao mais tao distantes, em termos de aspectos formais, dos periodicos de outras areas com maior tradicao de publicacao em periodicos cientificos. / This research is an exploratory and descriptive study that analyzes Brazilian scientific journals in the social sciences and humanities, indexed by SciELO database. The methodology adopted consisted of the partial implementation of the assessment model developed by Bomfa (2003). The 73 journals were analyzed, mainly in their aspects of quality extrinsic criteria. However, the study was also conducted to analyze qualitative aspects, such as publication language, indexing in databases and Qualis classification, as well as, quantitative indicators related to journals impact factor, Half-life, granted citations, received citations, issues number, articles number and number of articles journals requests. The results show that considering extrinsic aspects, these journals has improved significantly and in terms of formal aspects, are no longer so far apart from journals which have strong tradition of communicating scientific results in scholarly journals.

(in English): This thesis performs a descriptive bibliometric analysis of science production in 17 fields of social sciences and humanities in the Czech Republic, successfully verifying the usability of institutional data for this purpose. It focuses on the central areas of scientific production research: publishing strategies, scientific cooperation and the degree of internationalization of the R&D results. The thesis compares the monitored indicators within two ten-year periods: 1998-2007 and 2008-2017. Through the analysis of the R&D results, it reveals not only significant institutional differences, but above all, distinctive field specifics, which point to considerable diversity of the fields of social sciences and humanities. At the same time, it confirms an increase in the number of R&D results and a higher degree of internationalization and scientific cooperation between the analysed periods. The contribution of the work lies not only in the provided characteristics and detailed assessment of the usability of data, but also in pointing out the breadth of the uses of institutional resources for the analysis of scientific production, which far exceeds the capabilities of the IS VaVaI system.

As Ciências Sociais e Humanas (CSH) vêm enfrentando problemas para ter sua produção acadêmica integralmente reconhecida pelos sistemas de avaliação em todo o mundo. Tanto o processo de avaliação por pares quanto a mensuração por dados cientométricos possuem características distintas que afetam a maneira como a pesquisa é avaliada, mas a utilização de indicadores de citação de bases de dados internacionais como a Web of Science (WoS) em sistemas nacionais de avaliação têm sido especialmente desfavorável às CSH, devido às suas características singulares de publicação. Objetivo: apresentar uma síntese da literatura sobre avaliação da produção científica das CSH para compreender como os especialistas neste tema tratam das questões atuais já mencionadas. Metodologia: revisão de literatura. Um corpus composto de 107 artigos de periódicos foi recuperado por busca livre na WoS e na produção científica disponível na rede científica Research Gate, passando posteriormente por seleção final a partir de critérios qualitativos. Procedeu-se em sequência uma análise bibliométrica e uma análise qualitativa do corpus. Resultados: em termos geográficos e institucionais, a principal produção do corpus é oriunda da Espanha (CSIC), Bélgica (Universidade da Antuérpia) e Holanda (Universidade de Leiden). As publicações mais frequentes foram Scientometrics, Research Evaluation e Journal of American Society of Information Science and Technology, sendo que 43% dos periódicos do corpus são de Ciência da Informação. A avaliação quantitativa das CSH está presente em 81,3% do corpus, a avaliação qualitativa, em 42,1% e a mista, em 15%. As pesquisas empíricas formam 80,4% do corpus. Estudos reflexivos e propositivos formam 9,3% do corpus, são na maioria pesquisas empíricas (80%) e tendem a abordar a avaliação das CSH como um processo ao mesmo tempo quantitativo e qualitativo (70%). Conclusões: a literatura recuperada sobre avaliação da produção das CSH encontra-se em fase intermediária de desenvolvimento, apontando algumas alternativas, propostas e estudos aplicados para adequação dos instrumentos de avaliação. A Ciência da Informação emerge como disciplina proeminente na análise deste objeto em consolidação. Apesar de se identificar uma tendência ao uso de instrumentos que combinem aspectos quantitativos e qualitativos da produção, indicadores voltados à avaliação das CSH ainda estão por ser criados e não existe um modelo avaliativo que se possa apontar como consensual. / Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) are facing problems to have their scholar output fully recognized by evaluation systems worldwide. Both peer review and scientometric data have different characteristics that can influence the way the research is evaluated, but the usage of citation indicators in international databases such as Web of Science (WoS) for national evaluation systems has been especially harmful to SSH, due to their peculiar characteristics of publication. Aim: present a synthesis of the literature on evaluation of the SSH output and perceive how specialists deal with these current questions. Methods: literature review. A corpus composed of 107 journal articles was retrieved by direct search in WoS and also from the output available in the scientific network Research Gate. A final selection was made based on qualitative criteria. A bibliometric analysis and a qualitative analysis were carried out in sequence. Results and discussions: geographic and institutional distribution show that the main output of the corpus comes from Spain (CSIC), Belgium (University of Antwerp) and The Netherlands (University of Leiden). The most frequent publications were Scientometrics, Research Evaluation and Journal of the American Society of Information Science and Technology, and 43% of journals belong to the Information Science area. The quantitative evaluation of SSH is present in 81.3% of the corpus; the qualitative evaluation, in 42.1% and the mixed evaluation, in 15%. Empirical studies form 80.4% of the corpus. Reflective and propositional studies form 9.3% of the corpus, and they are mostly empirical research (80%) and also tend to approach the evaluation of SSH as a process both quantitative and qualitative (70%). Conclusions: the literature on evaluation of SSH output is in an intermediate stage of development, in which some alternatives, proposals and applied studies to the adequacy of evaluation instruments are pointed out. Information Science emerges as a prominent discipline in the analysis of this object, which is in consolidation. Although there is a tendency to use tools that combine quantitative and qualitative aspects of the output, an indicator for SSH evaluation has not yet been created and there is no assessment model that can be identified as consensual.

Der Vortrag wurde im Rahmen der Informationsveranstaltung „Elektronisches Publizieren an der TU Chemnitz – 10 Jahre MONARCH“ gehalten. Mit dem sprunghaften Anstieg wissenschaftlicher Publikation steigt die Informationsflut ständig weiter an. Im Zeitalter des Internet werden Veröffentlichungen in kürzester Zeit bereitgestellt und damit weltweit verfügbar. Andererseits führt die monopolistische Preispolitik von Großverlagen dazu, dass die wissenschaftlichen Informationen nicht mehr allen Interessierten zur Verfügung gestellt werden können. In den letzten Jahren ist speziell im STM-Bereich (Science, Technology, Medicine) eine enorme Steigerung der Zeitschriftenpreise zu verzeichnen. Aufgrund des sinkenden Erwerbungsetats der Bibliotheken ist die wissenschaftliche Informationsversorgung nicht mehr ausreichend gewährleistet. Konventionelle Lösungsansätze erweisen sich nicht als Ausweg aus der Informationskrise. Als alternatives Publikationsmodell wird Open Access betrachtet. Die wissenschaftlichen Informationen stehen kostenfrei und dauerhaft zur Verfügung. Gegründet wurde die Open Access Initiative 2001. Sie wird national u.a. unterstützt vom Wissenschaftsrat, der Kultusministerkonferenz und der Hochschulrektorenkonferenz. Zwei Jahre später wurde die "Berliner Erklärung über offenen Zugang zu wissenschaftlichem Wissen" verabschiedet und von führenden Wissenschaftsorganisationen des Landes (WR, HRK, DFG, Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, Max Planck Gesellschaft u.v.a.) unterzeichnet. Open Access-Dokumente können in Open Access-Zeitschriften oder z.Bsp. auf Dokumentenservern der Hochschulen veröffentlicht werden. Der Publikationsserver der TU Chemnitz, MONARCH wurde von der Deutschen Initiative für Netzwerkinformation zertifiziert. Der gemeinsam von Universitätsbibliothek und Universitätsrechenzentrum betreute Dienst entspricht nationalen und internationalen Standards. Im Vortrag wird abschließend auf praktische Beispiele nationaler Aktivitäten hingewiesen und es werden Möglichkeiten zur Umsetzung des Open Access Gedankens an der Technischen Universität Chemnitz angesprochen. / The lecture was held in the context of the information meeting "Electronic publishing at the Chemnitz University of Technology - 10 years MONARCH". With the precipitous rise of scientific publication the flood of information continues to rise constantly. In the age of the Internet publications are made available in shortest time and are accessible world-wide. On the other hand the monopolyistic price strategy of large publishing houses leads to the fact that the scientific information can be made available no more all interested ones. In the last years particularly an enormous increase of the magazine prices is to be registered within the STM range (Science, Technology, Medicine). Due to the sinking acquisition budget of the libraries the scientific information supply is no longer ensured sufficiently. Conventional solutions do not prove as a way out of the information crisis. As alternative publication model Open Access is regarded. The scientific information is available free of charge and durably. The Open Access Initiative was created 2001. It supported national among others of the scientific organisations Wissenschaftsrat, Kultusministerkonferenz and Hochschulrektorenkonferenz. Two years later the "Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities" was adopted and by prominent science organizations of the country (WR, HRK, DFG, Fraunhofer Society, Max Planck Society u.v.a.) signed. Open Access-documents can be published in Open Access-journals or e.g. on document repositories of the universities. The publication server MONARCH was certificated by the German Initiative for Network Information. MONARCH is conformed to national and international standards. In the lecture finally referred to practical examples of national activities and it will suggested possibilities for the conversion of the Open Access thought at the Chemnitz University of Technology.

Cette étude exploratoire s’intéresse à l’usage des revues en sciences sociales et humaines diffusées en libre accès complet et en libre accès différé par la plateforme Érudit. Basée sur les données de téléchargements d’Érudit, elle vise à 1) fournir un portrait détaillé de l’usage des articles, 2) décrire les habitudes de téléchargement des usagers au Canada et à l’international, et 3) analyser l’effet des politiques de libre accès des revues sur les téléchargements qu’elles reçoivent. Pour ce faire, 39 437 659 téléchargements, extraits de 999 367 190 requêtes HTTP enregistrées dans les logs du serveur d’Érudit de 2010 à 2015, ont été analysés. Les résultats montrent que la majorité des usagers provient du Québec, de la France et d’autres pays francophones, et que, la plupart du temps, ceux-ci accèdent aux articles par l’intermédiaire de Google. Les habitudes de téléchargement varient d’un pays à l’autre : alors que les usagers canadiens et français utilisent Érudit principalement en journée et en semaine, leurs homologues américains sont davantage actifs en soirée, la nuit, ainsi que les week-ends. Enfin, un avantage important lié au libre accès a été observé : les articles des revues en libre accès sont davantage téléchargés que ceux des revues en libre accès différé et, pour ces dernières, la fin de l’embargo est associée à une croissance importante des téléchargements – croissance moins marquée au Canada où bon nombre d’institutions sont abonnées aux revues de la plateforme. Ces résultats démontrent l’importance des revues nationales pour les sciences sociales et humaines, ainsi que l’effet positif du libre accès sur la diffusion des connaissances, tant au Canada qu’à l’étranger. / This study explores the usage of open access (OA) and delayed OA journals in the social sciences and humanities hosted by the journal platform Érudit. Relying on Érudit’s download data, the goals of the study are: 1) to describe the usage of scholarly articles, 2) to examine download patterns of national and international users, and 3) to analyze the effect of OA policies on journal download rates. The study is based on an analysis of 39,437,659 downloads, which were extracted from 999,367,190 HTTP requests stored in Érudit’s log files between 2010 and 2015. The results show that the majority of users came from Quebec, France and other French-speaking countries, and that most users access articles through Google. Download patterns varied between countries: although articles were most frequently accessed during working hours, US users were more active in the evening, at night and during weekends than Canadian and French users. The study also demonstrates a clear OA advantage, as freely available articles were downloaded more frequently than delayed OA articles affected by an embargo, and downloads per article increased substantially after embargos ended. This effect was less pronounced for Canadian users, who often have access to Érudit journals via institutional subscriptions and are thus not affected by the embargo periods. The results show the positive effect of OA on knowledge dissemination in Canada as well as internationally, and emphasize the importance of national journals in the social sciences and humanities.

The thesis follows the research stream focused on changes to the academic environment in the recent decades and their impact on academic professional paths and identities. Specifically, it is concerned with the phenomenon of attrition from academic profession which is pursued through a perspective of professional identity. We understand academic identities as an integral part of current changes to the academic environment and their study thus may help us better understand the changes as well as their influence on the development of academic ambitions. The aim of the thesis is to ascertain what kind of people and with what kind of professional identities enter and leave academia and for what reasons, and on this basis to identify barriers to the development of academic identities and paths. Special attention is paid to research field and gender aspects of the development of professional identities in order to explore the possible influence of specific structural factors (mainly field specific organization of academic production and gender specific biographies) and gain information needed for appropriate policy measures aimed at supporting professional development of early-career researchers. The analysis is based on narrative interviews with people who left academic professional path. The outcome of...

This is an ethnographic case-study of research and development practices taking place in an interdisciplinary project between education and computer sciences. The Ensemble-project, part of the Technology Enhanced Learning programme (2008-12), has studied case-based learning in a number of diverse settings in Higher Education, working to develop semantic technologies for supporting that learning. Focussing on one of the six research settings, the discipline of archaeology, the current study has had three purposes. By opening up to scrutiny the practices of research and development, it has firstly sought to understand how a shared research question is answered in practice when divergent research approaches are brought to bear upon it. Secondly, the study has followed the emergence of a piece of semantic technology through these practices. The third aim has been to assess the advantages and disadvantages of Actor-Network Theory (ANT) in studying unfolding, open-ended processes in real time. Through critical ethnographic participation, multiple ethnographic research methods, and by drawing on ANT as theoretical practice, the study has shown the precarious and unpredictable nature of research and development work, the political nature of research methods and how multiple realities can be produced using them, and the need for technology development to flexibly respond to changing circumstances. We have also seen the mutual adoption and extension of practices by the two strands of the project into each others’ domains, and how interdisciplinary tensions resolved, while they did not disappear, through pragmatic changes within the project. The study contributes to the interdisciplinary fields of Science and Technology Studies (STS) where studies on the ‘soft sciences’, such as education, are few, and a new field of Studies in Social Science and Humanities (SSH) which is emerging alongside and from within the STS. Interdisciplinary endeavours between fields pertaining largely to the natural and the social sciences respectively have not been studied commonly within either field.
