Aimed at colleagues engaged in work with international students in the UK HE context in subject studies, staff working in graduate school skills support, staff working with postgraduate students, staff working on collaborative programmes overseas and in the UK, colleagues working in educational development to support tutors on culturally diverse courses and programme developers and management, this Special deals with the current ‘hot’ topic of UK HE. This Special builds on Special 23 by taking a wider view of culturally diverse education and the opportunities it offers. It does so by providing unique insights and advice on teaching and supporting international students and looking into ways of making the multicultural environment work for all and so promises to be relevant to a wider educational audience

Welcome to Business Educator Issue 2 (2021-2022).
This Working Paper series is for scholars, researchers, early career researchers, members of the PhD community and students whose research and scholarship are located within Management Learning and Business Education.
The purpose of this Working Paper series is to provide a peer-reviewed publication to support the development of high-quality outputs from research in the areas of:
- Management Learning including leadership and management development approaches; coaching; professional development; reflexivity; creativity and innovation in management
learning; developing resilient and agile managers; internationalisation of management
learning across cultures.
- Business Education including business pedagogies; creative approaches to learning and teaching; online and hybrid approaches; digital business education; the student experience;
student as partners; collaborative approaches to business education; inclusive business education practices; work-based learning, experiential learning; internationalisation of
business education.
We are delighted that this second issue reflects the breadth of the experience within the research community in the Faculty of Business, Law, and Tourism and beyond by including
working papers from early career researchers, colleagues from University of Sunderland in London and established internationally recognised researchers.
Following the Call for Papers in October 2021, this issue contains three working papers and starts with a timely topic for all on ‘Securing the future of work: an analysis on skill gaps
between Business Education and industry needs in the UK’ by Dr Giuseppe Cantafio (Senior Lecturer (Academic Development APP and TEF University of Sunderland in London) and Awajioyem Miracle Ikoawaji (MSc International Business Management, University of Sunderland in London). This paper considers and reflects upon emerging technologies, disruptions and rapid evolution faced in the business environment. They present the case for new managers entering the market to acquire the skills needed to thrive and grow in a fastchanging
environment.
This is followed by a paper from established researchers on ‘An exploration of the impact of TNE programmes on graduate employability using stakeholder approach’ by Professor
Monika Foster (Head of School of Business and Management, University of Sunderland), Dr Yuan Zhai (Lecturer in Business, University of Teesside) and Dr Derek Watson (Associate
Professor, University of Sunderland). This paper focuses on TNE student graduateness and career progression. They provide insights and outline informed guidance on the design and
delivery of TNE programmes to further enrich graduate employability. This is followed by a paper by an early career researcher on ‘A conceptual study on the application of qualitative methods to the study of international master foundation students’ online engagement
during the pandemic lockdown’ by Iris Ren. This paper presents an emerging conceptualisation of the experience of the impact of Covid-19 on teaching practice for a teacher whose cultural differences have presented unique opportunities and challenges for developing their praxis and teaching of international postgraduate students
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
