Titre de l'écran-titre (visionné le 29 juin 2023) / Ce mémoire de maîtrise porte sur l'interaction des langages littéraires et visuels dans le contexte du livre d'artiste. Il examine l'effet de la présentation d'un texte de non-fiction sous forme de livre d'artiste afin de déterminer si l'expérience de lecture résultante représente mieux la singularité d'une expérience humaine précise. Le ventre des galets constitue la première partie du mémoire. Il s'agit d'un récit de non-fiction portant sur un voyage en Irlande et sur le deuil d'un parent, le tout présenté sous forme de livre d'artiste. Le texte en fragments est séparé en carnets et entrecroisé de reproductions d'aquarelles réalisées au fil de l'écriture. Le récit imprimé et relié est contenu dans un boîtier réalisé à la main et l'objet est essentiel à l'expérience de lecture. La deuxième partie du mémoire, à travers l'analyse du livre d'artiste de Margaret Atwood et Charles Pachter The Illustrated Journals of Susanna Moodie, étudie le rapport entre le texte et l'image et l'effet émergeant du mélange des deux. L'analyse est précédée d'une démarche de clarification de deux domaines - l'écriture du réel et le livre d'artiste - afin de comprendre les caractéristiques clés de chaque discipline. La troisième partie de ce mémoire est un retour sur la démarche créative : l'écriture, la réécriture, la construction et la reconstruction du récit et du livre objet. Elle examine également les défis connexes à l'écriture du réel, plus précisément à l'écriture du deuil. / This master's thesis explores the interaction of literary and visual languages within artist's books. It examines the impact of presenting a nonfiction text as an artist's book in order to determine if the reading experience evokes more effectively the singularity of a specific human experience. Le ventre des galets is the first part of this master's thesis. It is a nonfiction narrative about a trip to Ireland and about the grieving process for a parent. Presented in fragments, the text is intertwined with a visual narrative consisting of reproductions of watercolour paintings realized during the writing of the narrative. The book is printed and bound and is contained in a handmade case; the object is essential to the reading experience. The second part of the thesis is an analysis of the artist's book by Margaret Atwood and Charles Pachter, The Illustrated Journals of Susanna Moodie, focusing on the relationship between words and images and the effect that the combination creates. The analysis is preceded by a survey of two fields - nonfiction writing and the artist's book - to clarify each field and better understand the key characteristics of each. The third part of this thesis is an observation of my own creative process: writing, rewriting, constructing, and reconstructing of the nonfiction narrative and the book as an object. This section also touches on the challenges associated with the writing of nonfiction, specifically as it relates to revisiting and writing about grief.

Recentemente estudiosos como Benkler, Lessig, Boyle, Hess e Ostrom retomaram o uso do conceito de commons, mas agora relacionado à informação em geral ou à informação científica. Nesse trabalho, nós lançamos mão desse termo para destacar o caráter cooperativo da pesquisa científica, a importância da transparência e neutralidade no acesso ao commons da Ciência e a natureza anti-rival da informação científica. O conceito de commons nos é muito útil para focar todo o conjunto dos artigos científicos já publicados, quer estejam na forma impressa ou na digital. Ainda permite um estudo através de prismas multidisciplinares e, finalmente, enfatiza a dinâmica das comunidades científicos como um todo. Em qualquer commons de informação, quanto maior a distribuição do conhecimento, mais dinâmico e eficiente é o processo de evolução do conhecimento. A tecnologia da imprensa tem desempenhado um papel fundamental na divulgação de informação e o seu surgimento marcou uma revolução no conhecimento e na cultura da nossa civilização. A tecnologia digital tem se mostrado mais eficiente ainda, uma vez que a natureza da sua implementação em bits se aproxima mais da natureza anti-rival das idéias do que qualquer outra tecnologia hoje empregada para preservação e distribuição de informação. Em nosso estudo, constatamos que o commons da Ciência pode ser enormemente enriquecido através de práticas cooperativas e de acesso aberto na publicação da academia. Percebemos também que o uso da tecnologia digital no commons científico, especialmente na publicação dos resultados da pesquisa, aumenta grandemente a distribuição do conhecimento acadêmico, suas oportunidades de escrutínio e validação, a dinâmica de amadurecimento das idéias científicas e, conseqüentemente, pode tornar o desenvolvimento da Ciência mais veloz e eficiente. No entanto, o meio digital tem sido utilizado tanto para criar um ambiente de livre circulação de idéias quanto para controlá-las. Por um lado, código computacional tem sido implementado para garantir o acesso apenas aos que pagam pelos altos preços das revistas científicas. Por outro lado, a publicação de revistas on-line de acesso aberto e outras formas alternativas de disseminação de conteúdo científico têm se proliferado. Ainda, o decrescente orçamento das bibliotecas, o crescente preço das assinaturas de revistas científicas e as crescentes restrições aplicadas pelas leis de propriedade intelectual têm minado a natureza livre das idéias científicas e colocado a Comunicação Científica numa crise. Estamos no meio de uma transição de paradigmas quanto à publicação dos resultados de pesquisa científica, onde aspectos legais, tecnológicos e sócio-econômicos estão em renegociação. À luz das oportunidades da tecnologia digital e da publicação em acesso aberto, as formas de disseminação dos resultados da pesquisa científica presentemente estabelecidas tem sido repensadas. Inserimos essa análise num contexto maior, o paradigma da Comunicação Científica. Isso nos auxilia a fazer um estudo mais abrangente das complexas questões envolvendo nosso tema, analisando os aspectos tecnológicos, legais e sócio-econômicos de uma possível transição para o modelo de publicação de acesso aberto. Tão grandes são as oportunidades desse novo modelo que ele tem agregado em torno de si iniciativas sócio-acadêmicas conhecidas por Movimento de Acesso Aberto à literatura científica. Atualmente, há muitos testes e modelos de publicação dessa literatura. Em especial, nesse trabalho focamos o modelo de acesso aberto aos resultados científicos, suas vantagens, as dificuldades para seu estabelecimento e como ele tem se desenvolvido. Analisamos a viabilidade de criação de um ecossistema de bibliotecas digitais de acesso aberto, especializadas em cada ramo da Ciência. Nossos modelos de partida baseiam-se em alguns aspectos de serviços como arXiv, CiteSeer e Google Scholar. Entre as muitas conclusões desse estudo, constatamos que bibliotecas desse tipo aumentam sobremaneira a dinâmica de circulação, geração, transformação e renovação do conhecimento científico. Assim, o processo de produção de recursos no commons científico pode se tornar muito mais eficiente. / Recent studies done by Benkler, Lessig, Boyle, Hess and Ostrom look at the concept of commons again however, this time in relation to information in general more specifically to scientific information. In this study, we focused on the cooperative character of scientific research, the importance of transparency and neutrality to access the scientific commons. The concept of commons is highly useful to focus on every scientific article that has already been published in print or digitally. This allows studies through several multidisciplines and finally emphasizes the dynamic of scientific communities around the world. In each commons of information, the higher the distribution of knowledge, the more dynamic and efficient the process of the evolution of this information. Technology of the press has been key in the divulging of information and its expansion marked a revolution in knowledge and culture in our civilization. Digital technology has shown more efficiency. Its implementation into bits is closer to the non-rival nature of the ideas than other technologies used to preserve it and used to distribute information. In our work, we realized that the science of commons should be enriched through cooperative practices and open access to scientific results. We also realized that digital technology in scientific commons improves distribution of scholarly knowledge and the dynamic evolution of scientific ideas so the science development should be even more efficient and faster. The digital revolution has been used to create a free environment of circulation of ideas and it has also been used to control certain things. On one side, computational code has been implemented to allow access just for people who pay for the service. On the other hand, online journals publishing and other alternative forms of disseminating scientific knowledge have been proliferated. The decreasing budget of libraries, the increasing cost of journal subscriptions and the increasing restrictions applied by intellectual property has enclosed the free nature of scientific ideas and it has put Scholarly Communication into a crisis. We are in the middle of a transitional phase, where legal, technological, social and economic aspects of scientific publishing have being renegotiated. We inserted our analyses in a larger context, the Scholarly Communication paradigm. This supports a larger study about the complex questions of our subject, analyzing the technological, legal, social and economic aspects of a possible transition to the open access publishing model. This new publishing model is so interesting that some initiatives have started social movements pertaining to it. Nowadays, there are many tests and publishing models especially in this line of work. We focused on the open access model in scientific results, its advantages, the difficulties of its establishment and how it has been developed. Finally, we propose that the creation of an open access digital libraries ecosystem specialized in every scientific field. Our staring models are services such as: arXiv, CiteSeer and Google Scholar. Among our conclusions, we have realized that following this models stated above, digital libraries can enhance the dynamic of circulation, generation, transformation and renovation of the scientific knowledge.

It starts from the point that the advantage of the advent of electronic media journal provides to scientific knowledge production, related to traditional support journal, is particularly related to acess speed and dinamization (time x space), not to contribute to paradigm changes within a domain. Concerning it has an exploratory, lining case study nature, it aims at analysing the use and the level of influence the electronic journals have been performing to scientific knowledge production within the University since the 1980 s, as well as presenting the level of influence of commercial publishers, by means of studying the Bradford s (80/20) Law reproductivity, in order to contribute to discussion/ reflection on forming and establishing indicators and control devices for managing title collections of electronic journals (Consortiums and Search Engines). Through collection and title and year analysis in dissertations and thesis from three decades (1980 s, 1990 s and 2000 s) of a certain domain, we have concluded that the hypothesis stated herein is valid. It seems that, due to the electronic communication phenomenon, researchers have been quoting more titles faster and faster. Therefore, the scientific progress seems to go forward quickly. As long as we have identified large influence from commercial publishers, we have also noticed the growth of free access to scientific information. / Versa sobre a influ?ncia da comunica??o eletr?nica (tamb?m de acesso livre) e o controle das editoras comerciais na produ??o do conhecimento cient?fico.

Die Qualitätssicherung von Forschungsdaten ist im Kontext offener Wissenschaft ein wichtiges Thema. Sollen geteilte Daten dabei unterstützen, Forschungsergebnisse nachzuvollziehen und die Nachnutzung von Daten ermöglicht werden, bestehen entsprechende Anforderungen an ihre Qualität. Bei Datenqualität und Qualitätssicherung im Kontext von Datenpublikationen handelt es sich allerdings um komplexe und divers verwendete Konzepte. Bislang wird die Qualitätssicherung von Datenpublikationen punktuell ausführlich beschrieben, jedoch fehlt eine Betrachtung, die die möglichen Maßnahmen systematisch beschreibt. Darüber, wie einzelne Maßnahmen bei Repositorien verbreitet sind, ist ebenfalls kaum etwas bekannt. In der Dissertation wird herausgearbeitet, wie Qualität und Qualitätssicherung für Forschungsdaten definiert und systematisiert werden können. Auf dieser Basis wird ein theoretischer Ansatz für die Systematisierung qualitätssichernder Maßnahmen erarbeitet. Er dient als Grundstruktur für die Untersuchung von Data Journals und Repositorien. Dazu werden Guidelines von 135 Data Journals und Zertifizierungsdokumente von 99 Repositorien analysiert, die das Zertifikat CoreTrustSeal in der Version 2017–2019 erhalten haben. Die Analysen zeigen, wie Datenqualität in Data Journal Guidelines und durch Repositorien definiert wird und geben einen Einblick in die Praxis der Qualitätssicherung bei Repositorien. Die Ergebnisse bilden die Grundlage für eine Umfrage zur Verbreitung qualitätssichernder Maßnahmen, die auch offene Prozesse der Qualitätssicherung, Verantwortlichkeiten und die transparente Dokumentation der Datenqualität berücksichtigt. An der Umfrage im Jahr 2021 nahmen 332 Repositorien teil, die im Verzeichnis re3data indexiert sind. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchungen zeigen den Status quo der Qualitätssicherung und die Definition von Datenqualität bei Data Journals und Forschungsdatenrepositorien auf. Sie zeigen außerdem, dass Repositorien mit vielfältigen Maßnahmen zur Qualitätssicherung von Datenpublikationen beitragen. Die Ergebnisse fließen in ein Framework für die Qualitätssicherung von Datenpublikationen in Repositorien ein. / Quality assurance of research data is an important issue in open science. To enable transparency in research and data reuse, shared data have to meet quality requirements. However, the concepts of data quality and quality assurance are ubiquitous, yet elusive. Quality assurance practices have been researched for data publications in Data Journals, but not systematically for research data repositories. This dissertation elaborates how quality and quality assurance for research data can be defined and systematized. On this basis, a theoretical approach for quality assurance is developed. It is used for the analysis of quality assurance practices at data journals and research data repositories. For this purpose, guidelines of 135 data journals and certification documents of 99 repositories that have received the CoreTrustSeal certificate 2017–2019 are investigated. The analyses show how data quality is defined in data journal guidelines and by repositories and provide insight into repository quality assurance practices. The results informed a questionnaire that aims at analyzing prevalence of data quality assurance at research data repositories. The survey also covered aspects such open measures of quality assurance, responsibilities and transparent quality documentation. 332 repositories indexed in the re3data registry participated in the 2021 online survey. The results of this dissertations analyses indicate the status quo of quality assurance measures and definitions of data quality at data journals and research data repositories. Furthermore, they also show that repositories contribute to the quality assurance of data publications with a variety of measures. The results are incorporated into a framework for quality assurance of data publications at research data repositories.

The aim of this study was to investigate the role that humanistic techniques play in reducing feelings of language anxiety associated with oral communication in the TESOL classroom. Students in the experimental group attended classes which incorporated humanistic techniques such as journal writing and group work and where the affective needs of the students were taken into account. Students in the control group were provided with the normal course content along more traditional lines and their affective needs were not taken into account. Language anxiety was measured by means of questionnaires, journals and interviews. The results revealed that general feelings of anxiety about oral communication decreased in the experimental group. The experimental group achieved higher scores in the final written examination although there was no significant difference in the oral examination results between the two groups. The drop-out rate in the experimental group was lower than that of the control group. / English Studies / M.A.

世界各國政府在知識經濟的潮流之下更加重視本土學術研究的品質，各國投注資源以提升學術研究水準、促進學術社群的國際化。台灣順應此種趨勢，近年制定各種學術政策與評鑑計畫，其中推動學術社群的知識生產品質，是國家政策中既定的一項重點目標。台灣社會學門的知識生產也受到國家施政方向的影響，國家科學委員會於 1997、2001與2006年執行三波的社會學門專業期刊排序計畫，針對社會學門的學術期刊進行評比。 本研究著眼於此種學術場域的改變，將主要的研究關懷聚焦在學術社群的知識變遷；回顧科學社會學的研究傳統，引用行為是探查學社群知識生產的重要指標，引用代表學術知識傳遞與溝通的情形；而近年社會網絡分析（Social Network Analysis） 研究的興起，更擴充知識引用的研究方式與概念，採以引用網絡（Citation Networks） 分析知識結構與社群互動行為。本研究立基於社會網絡的研究概念，利用網絡分析工具試圖捕捉當代台灣社會學知識引用結構的現狀；社會學門的知識引用結構；究竟學術知識的引用會有何種變遷？引用的機制為何？ 本研究採用2007年第三波社會學門專業期刊排序資料，進行次級資料分析，研究問題環繞在2001~2006年引用網絡結構的多層次架構，開展出三項研究問題： （一）社會學門學術期刊引用網絡的現況，互引網絡結構的動態變化為何？ （二）社會學門內部學者引用期刊的情形為何？社會學門各類型期刊的引用變遷又如何？ （三）以社會學門期刊引用的產生是偏向於以內容為主的規範論或符合以社會關係為主的建構論的機制？ 研究結果分成三部份。第一，在期刊對期刊引用網絡層次部份，顯示學術期刊的引用網絡結構朝向集中化的趨勢，《台灣社會學》、《台灣社會學刊》成為引用結構中主要被引用的學術期刊組織，而且成為引用網絡結構中優勢地位的引用副團體。第二，社會學門學者引用學術期刊的雙元網絡層次，顯示社會學者與社會福利、社會工作學者的引用分流；社會學專業期刊與社會工作專業期刊的引用也存在著分流的情形。最後，《台灣社會學》、《台灣社會學刊》與《台灣社會研究季刊》的社會學者引用機制為內容為主的規範論。此三項結果顯示期刊排序制度施行社會學門的學術期刊，特定學術期刊的學術論文被其他期刊所肯定，產生引用結構的集中化變遷，同時社會學者與社會福利、社會工作學者對學科專業期刊分流引用也逐漸成形。而三種學術期刊內，社會學者的引用網絡影響來自於學者專長的相同與否，更是為台灣社會學的知識引用現狀，提出一個解釋的答案。 / Abstract In recent years, as the world has been trending toward a Knowledge-based Economy, governments worldwide have recognized the importance of academic research, providing resources to upgrade the academic research level in order to internationalize scholarly pursuit. Taiwan, as a latecomer to the concept of Knowledge-based Economy, has begun to constitute science and social science rules and evaluations for academic development. The study intends to capture the transformation of the academic field by examining citations. In early works in the science of sociology, citation was an important indication of scholarly productivity. Social network analysis (SNA) enriches the methodology, and makes the indication to the idea of citation networks. Based on the perspective of SNA, the study investigates the citation network database of sociological journals between 2001 and 2006, and the concurrent citation networks of sociologists from three prior sociological journals. The results include three parts: first, the structure of journals' citation networks shows the trend of centralization, and two academic journals attain privileged status by means of structural equivalence. Second, the dual network of authors and journals demonstrate the citation divisions of sociologists and social workers. The sociological professional journals and social worker professional journals also are divided by time. Finally, the citation mechanism of sociologists verifies the normative pattern. In conclusion, the analysis confirms the impact of social science policy, which influences the centralization of citation networks and the advantageous status of specific sociological journals. The sociologists' citation networks are related to the specialty similarities of scholars, not the social relations. The study gives a pioneer explanation of citation networks of Taiwanese sociology.

Im Rahmen der Internationalen Open Access Week 2016 fand am 26.10.2016 die Veranstaltung "Open in Action at TU Chemnitz" statt. Der Vortrag des MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute - berichtet über die Aktivitäten des Open-Access-Verlages und die Vorteile für Autoren. Die Präsentation zeigt das Leistungsspektrum und gibt Auskunft über den Peer Review-Prozess. Seit 2015 hat die Universitätsbibliothek eine Institutionelle Vereinbarung mit dem MDPI geschlossen.

The lecture of the MDPI – the Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute – presents the past and current activities of the open access publisher and the author benefits. The presentation shows the procedures and the range of inhouse services in the editorial and the peer review process. The University Library of the Technische Universität Chemnitz has held an institutional membership with the MDPI AG since 2015. Thus, the publication and invoicing workflow is made simple and transparent for academics.

The aim of this work is to map, capture and enlighten the contemporary phenomenon of travel and travelogue, and introduce it as a still alive and evolving literary genre. This is illustrated by the analysis of contemporary Czech periodicals, blogs, websites and several literary works of this nature. The work, based on this analysis, creates their genre typology. The results show that there is a retreat of lyrical and poetic type, while the current is a form of narrative and novelistic travelogue, in which a subjective description and personal tone predominates and the position of the author - narrator is strengthened. Contemporary literary production of travelogue genre is very broad and findings of this work describe the current status and trends, which tend to mix and combine genres, incorporating travelogue into fiction and enriching it with new elements through differentiation of ideas and interests of travelers. The educative extent of travelogue in contemporary works is often taken aback, or is thanks to fictionalization appropriately incorporated into the text.

This master thesis deals with the phenomenon of journals published by local municipalities, defined in a recent amendment to the Press Act in the legal order of the Czech Republic as "journals of territorial administrative units". According to the press law the purpose of these journals is to deliver information about the self- governing unit while providing adequate space for presenting opinions and views of all ideological spectrum of the local council. These journals were recently criticized for being abused by the ruling political representation and being misused as a form of political PR rather than an independent news platform. My research is focused on their gradual professionalization that was recently encouraged by the changes in the Czech law. The research is based on a survey of editors of these journals. In the survey I investigated the background of the content production of these journals, various aspects of their organization, details about staff editors and their reflection on the topic, as well as control mechanisms that are set to ensure the statutory requirements of objectivity and impartiality. In addition to the survey, I also present a brief case study of the Hobulet magazine, published in the Prague 7 district, which is considered to be a progressive example of the genre. The...

Accelerating technological and social innovation drives the need for graduates ready for self-directed lifelong learning. Self-directed learning (SDL) projects are now an integral part of many formal undergraduate programs across the disciplines. A Personal Development Portfolio (PDP) based on Grow’s Iterative Staged Self-directed Learning Model was introduced into a second year Information Systems course to raise awareness of the need for SDL and enable students to drive their own learning. The study evaluates the success of the PDP in preparing graduates as self-directed lifelong learners. Students’ reflective writing and learning journals, together with submitted portfolio work was taken as evidence of success and difficulties. Resistance often accompanies the changes introduced by SDL. This research therefore also explores the potential for business change management principles in mediating change to the educational environment. Student engagement with SDL was found to be accomplished with mixed success; most students demonstrated initial resistance, while many developed into focused reflective learners over time. While students were able to define appropriate learning goals and reflect on progress and achievement, mixed ability in specifying resources, strategies and validation to support their learning was found. Creating change readiness through messaging, cooperative SDL and using adapted change management models were of use in refining the SDL process.
