No full textSport tourism is one of the fastest-growing tourism segments. Amongst the wide variety of typologies of sport that can be practised, those ones that take place outdoors have experienced considerable growth. In fact, practising sport in natural environments is a worldwide growing trend. In the same vein, amongst these nature sports, surfing and its lifestyle have become distinctive elements of contemporary Western society. Moreover, surfers are well known to be highly mobile in the search of the places where it is possible to practise the sport, causing multiple impacts in all aspects of sustainability. The main aims of this thesis are two-fold. First, to understand the complexity of surf tourism not only to answer ‘what’ type of surfing-related-sports (SRSs), as well as ‘when’ and ‘where’ are they practised, but also ‘who’ is involved in the production, distribution, consumption, and the knowledge derived from it. Consequently, to investigate ‘who’ and ‘how’ is concerned in the creation of knowledge, reconceptualising surf tourism and indagating about its characterization. The second main objective is to construct an instrument to measure surf destination competitiveness considering the triple-bottom line of sustainability. These tools should be of interest not only for governmental and public institutions that deal with surf destinations, but also for private companies, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and scholars, since it provides valuable information about the sources of knowledge, as well as economic, social, and environmental data to take managerial decisions
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
