No full textIn Nepal, community management is primarily applied as community forestry (CF) and leasehold forestry (LF), although a third approach, called Community Forest Management (CFM), has also been tried in the southern plains area called the Terai. The Private Forest Nationalization Act of 1957 is seen as a turning point in the development of legislation in the Nepalese forestry sector. This act abolished the private ownership of forests, which were largely controlled by elites. A consequence, though, was that this change resulted in large-scale deforestation, as forests beyond the reach of government agencies were effectively turned into open access resources (NPC, 1991; Gautam et al., 2004; Nagendra and Gokhale, 2008). Even after a series of legislative reforms during the 1960s, forest areas were still declining and, by the mid-1970s, the Forestry Department realized the importance of community participation in forest management (Talbott and Khadka, 1994). This recognition was an important step toward developing partici - patory approaches to forest management, which were formally included in govern - ment policy after the National Forestry Plan of 1976 and subsequent legislation in 1978. The Master Plan for the Forestry Sector (1988) firmly established Com - munity Forestry (CF) as the main forest management policy in Nepal (Acharya, 2002)

Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
