    Dieser Artikel weist darauf hin, dass durch die Gruppendynamik qualitativer Forschungsgruppen die Fähigkeiten universitärer Forscher/innen gefördert werden, ethisches Vorgehen in fachgerechter Weise umzusetzen. Wenn Forschungsteilnehmer/innen selbst zu Forschern werden, haben – so behaupte ich – sowohl die Teilnehmer/innen der Forschungsgruppe, die von der Universität kommen, als auch die, die dem Forschungsfeld angehören, Gelegenheit, die Lebenswelt des/der jeweils anderen intensiv zu erfahren. Dadurch, dass man als Forschende gemeinsam Zeit miteinander verbringt, kann sich ethische Expertise entwickeln, die flexibel und implizit angemessen für das Feld ist, in dem die Forschung stattfindet.This article suggests that qualitative research group dynamics shape university re­searchers' capacities for expertly enacting ethical practices. Specifically, I assert that when research participants become the researchers, both univer­sity-based and community-based members of the research group have opportunities to deeply experi­ence each other's life worlds. By spending time to­gether as researchers, we can then develop ethical expertise that is fluid, unconscious, and implicitly appropriate for the community in which the re­search is being conducted.Este artículo sugiere que las dinámicas de grupo en la investigación cualitativa forman la capacidad de investigadores universitarios para instalar con pericia prácticas éticas. Particularmente propongo que cuando los participantes de la investigación se vuelven investigadores, los investigadores universitarios y a la vez los investigadores basados en la comunidad tienen la oportunidad de ganar experiencias a fondo de los mundos de vida del uno y del otro. Compartiendo tiempo como investigadores podemos entonces desarollar pericia ética que es fluida, inconciente, e implícitamente adecuada para la comunidad en la cual la investigación se lleva a cabo

    How Identities Shape Belonging in Occupational Therapy Education: A Phenomenological Exploration of Student Belonging

    No full text
    Belonging is defined in a variety of ways but most often refers to an individual’s feelings of acceptance, inclusion, support, and respect within a certain environment. Belonging is an innate human need and contributes to success in academic and professional settings. Within occupational therapy (OT) education, minimal attention has been paid to the specific concept of belonging with no research focused on long-term qualitative explorations of student belonging for students with historically minoritized identities (HMIs). Thus, the goal of the present study was to better understand how students with multiple HMIs experienced the phenomenon of belonging in OT education. Utilizing hermeneutic phenomenology, this study synthesized data from course assignments, focus groups, interviews, and reflective journals from a single cohort of OT students for one calendar year. Theoretical frameworks from sociology and psychology were leveraged to understand how students, particularly those with HMIs, navigated and experienced belonging. Evidence indicates that holding multiple minoritized identities can amplify experiences of discrimination and impact how belonging is perceived. Thus an additional framework of intersectionality highlights the need for inclusive educational practices that are sensitive to diverse student experiences. Data from this study is presented in a series of student vignettes each demonstrating a unique experience of belonging for multiple intersecting identities. The findings underscore the importance of inclusive practices, supportive faculty, and peer connections in fostering a sense of belonging. This research contributes to the broader discourse on educational inclusion by highlighting the intricate interplay of identity, environment, and institutional culture in shaping students\u27 experiences of belonging

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
