Objectives: Identifying drivers of complex traits from the noisy signals of genetic variation obtained from high-throughput genome sequencing technologies is a central challenge faced by human geneticists today. We hypothesize that the variants involved in complex diseases are likely to exhibit non-neutral evolutionary signatures. Uncovering the ev...
This article argues that the time is ripe to reacquaint sociology and surrealism. Taking inspiration from surrealism’s emphasis on making the ordinary strange through bizarre, lively and sometimes haunting methods might result in a more poetic and playful sociology. The article looks at how this might be applied in practice through drawing on a var...
Asumiendo las críticas que con frecuencia recibe la investigación jurídica por la falta de atención a las cuestiones de método, el presente artículo plantea la necesidad de generar pautas que garanticen el rigor académico del trabajo jurídico y propone a la argumentación como su criterio de validez científica. Con base en Atienza, el texto sugiere...
Background. Software Engineering (SE) research, like other applied disciplines, intends to provide trustful evidence to practice. To ensure trustful evidence, a rigorous research process based on sound research methodologies is required. Further, to be practically relevant, researchers rely on identifying original research problems that are of inte...
Understanding human judgement and decision making during visual inspection of data is of both practical and theoretical interest. While visualizing data is a commonly employed mechanism to support complex cognitive processes such as inference, judgement, and decision making, the process of supporting and scaffolding cognition through effective desi...
Este artículo muestra el uso, apropiación e impacto de las herramientas informáticas (TIC) por parte de los investigadores y grupos de investigación de algunas instituciones de educación superior de la ciudad de Medellín, Colombia. Se empleó la metodología cualitativa que permite el análisis de las dinámicas de uso y apropiación de las TIC y su pue...
Neste artigo, parto dos percursos de uma tese de Doutorado em currículo e estudos queers a fim de explorar os caminhos de pesquisa menos como um exercício de produzir empiria ou dados e mais como uma crítica criadora e expansiva. Pergunto: o que acontece se a pesquisa não passar de ficção? Sugiro, desse modo, que é o momento de arriscar os fundamen...

Este artículo pretende contribuir al uso reflexivo de los métodos mixtos, es decir aquellos métodos que combinan en una misma investigación las miradas cuantitativas y cualitativas en vistas de la realización de la fase empírica del estudio. Luego de describir sus características generales y sus principales críticas, se presentan los elementos míni...
