Project: Sociologie de la circulation des savoirs: une prosopographie exploratoire basée sur les systèmes d’information CRIS de l’Espace universitaire francophone (PRISA 2021)

The project “Sociologie de la circulation des savoirs: une prosopographie exploratoire basée sur les systèmes d’information CRIS de l’Espace universitaire francophone (PRISA 2021)” is part of the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF). Its objective is to consolidate a research network on the circulation of scientific knowledge based on the convergence between bibliometric studies and prosopographical studies of the publications of researchers from Canada, Brazil and Argentina. Unlike traditional studies based exclusively on traditional databases, such as Scopus or Web of Science, this project aims to mobilize new sources, such as curricular information systems or CRIS systems in each country and large aggregators such as Lens, Google Scholar, Dimensions. The importance of exploring new sources lies in knowing more fully the characteristics of researchers and their publications in all languages, overcoming the limitations pointed out by the available literature that verify the mercantile, linguistic and disciplinary biases of those databases.

Project: Comparative study of gender inequalities in scientific publishing and its impact in career-building in Brazil and Argentina

CECIC members participate and have participated in several international projects with peers from Latin America and the rest of the world. The most recent project is part of the Chaire Femmes et Science de l’Université Paris Dauphine. It is called “Comparative study of gender inequalities in scientific publishing and its impact in career-building in Brazil and Argentina”. It is directed by Fernanda Beigel and has a team constituted by Mario Pecheny (UBA-CONICET), Ana Maria Almeida (UNICAMP), Alejandra Ciriza (CONICET, UNCuyo), Marilia Moscovici (UNICAMP), Marcia Rangel (IESP – UERJ) and Osvaldo Gallardo (ANPCYT, UNCuyo). In addition, two doctoral theses related to this issue (Pía Rossomando and Soledad Gómez) are included in this line of research.
