Forskning for morgendagens reiseliv
Full text linkFredman, Peter & Haukeland, Jan Vidar (2017). Forskning for morgendagens reiseliv. Praktisk økonomi & finans. 33-2, 233-236, Universitetsforlaget, 1501-0074, https://doi.org/10.18261/issn.1504-2871-2017-02-072016 var et tregt år for norsk økonomi. Reiselivet var unntaket. I forskningsprosjektet BIOTOUR er hovedmålsettingen å utforske nøkkelbetingelser for å videreutvikle det naturbaserte reiselivet. En av sektorene innen reiselivet som vokser raskest, er nemlig den naturbaserte. Denne delen av reiselivet omfatter bedrifter som tilbyr tjenester og produkter til turister som besøker naturområder utenfor sine vanlige omgivelser (der de bor). Verdiskapingen som det naturbaserte reiselivet skaper, varierer. Det som imidlertid er felles for denne sektoren, er at naturen er attraksjonen. Det er til naturen man drar for opplevelser, avkobling, aktiviteter og sosialt fellesskap. Ifølge Innovasjon Norge hadde Preikestolen alene i fjor besøk av nesten 300.000 mennesker. Mens om lag 1000 personer krav- let seg opp på Trolltunga i 2009, var det nesten 90.000 personer i fjor som ville oppleve det spektakulære fjellplatået.Forskning for morgendagens reiselivacceptedVersio
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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 linkWe 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
Prerequisites for a holistic nature-based tourism production in Norwegian mountain municipalities
Full text linkReiselivsnæringa er éi av dei næringane som veks raskast, både nasjonalt og globalt Naturbasert reiseliv er òg inne i ein vekstfase, og er ein av dei retningane innan reiseliv som aukar mest. Ved å bruke Kamfjords modell om Det heilskaplege reiselivsprodukt, blei det utforma ei spørjeundersøking som skulle gje meir kunnskap om kva for grunnlag fjellkommunar har for reiselivsutvikling.
Med kunnskap om kva for grunnlag fjellkommunar har for reiselivsutvikling, kan ein i større grad sjå kva for mogleikar og utviklingspotensiale som finst lokalt. Føremålet med undersøkinga var å finne ut kva for føresetnader for utvikling av naturbasert reiseliv norske fjellkommunar har, og i kva grad dei har ressursar til å nytte seg av desse. Datagrunnlaget for undersøkinga blei samla inn ved hjelp av ei elektronisk undersøking som blei sendt ut til ansatte i fjellkommunar som sit som ansvarlege for næringsutvikling.
Undersøkinga hadde ein svarfrekvens på 31,5%. Det blei gjennomført einvegs variansanalyser (ANOVA), for å sjå om det var signifikante skilnader mellom kva for grad fjellkommunar med ulik andel naturbasert reiseliv syntest dei hadde tilstrekkeleg tilgong på ressursar til reiselivsutvikling. Det kom fram at fjellkommunar med høg andel naturbasert reiseliv var noko mindre tilfreds med tilgongen på ressursar, enn det dei med lågare andel.
I tillegg til å auke svarfrekvensen, bør vidare forsking vurdere å innlemme fleire aktørar i liknande undersøkingar, då ein ved å få inn fleire syn på kva kommunane har tilgong til, i sum vil få ei meir heilskapleg og samansett innsikt.Tourism is one of the fastest growing industries, both nationally and globally. Nature-based tourism is one of the forms of tourism that grows the fastest. By using Kamfjord's model on The Holistic Tourism Product, it was designed a questionnaire that would give more knowledge about prerequisites of tourism development in mountain municipalities.
Knowing what the prerequisites for tourism development in mountain municipalities, one can to a greater extent see what possibilities and potential for development. The purpose of the survey was to find out what prerequisites for development of nature-based tourism Norwegian mountain municipalities have, and to what extent they have resources to make use of these. The data for the survey was collected by an electronic survey, which was sent out to employees in mountain municipalities. The survey had a response rate of 31.5%. One-way ANOVA was carried out to see if there were significant differences between mountain municipalities with high percentage of nature-based tourism, and mountain municipalities with low percentage of nature-based tourism.
Mountain municipalities with a high percentage of nature-based tourism were somewhat less satisfied with the access to resources, than those with lower percentage. In addition to increasing the response rate, further research should consider incorporating several others working within tourism in similar surveys. This will help gaining a more holistic insight.submittedVersionM-REI
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
