Lecciones y experiencias en el co-diseño de un modelo Indígena de liderazgo, gobernanza y toma de decisiones: Te Remu Huia
No full textIn response to the introduction of the Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Act in Aotearoa/New Zealand, which prioritizes Māori self-determination in health, the Ngāti Hauiti tribe initiated a research project to develop an Indigenous leadership, governance, and decision-making model rooted in their cultural values. This initiative, led by Whakauae Research Services Ltd, culminated in the co-design of Te Remu Huia, a model built on the tikanga (customs) and kōrero tuku iho (oral traditions) of Ngāti Hauiti.
Drawing on the symbolic tail feathers of the huia bird, a tribal emblem of rangatiratanga (chieftainship), the model reframes governance around consensus, cultural identity, and intergenerational responsibility. Using a Kaupapa Māori methodology, the team conducted in-depth interviews with 22 Māori leaders and held multiple wānanga (workshops) to collaboratively develop the model’s principles, people, and processes. The co-design process emphasized relational trust, positionality, and the lived experiences of council members.
Te Remu Huia integrates mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge) with practical tools from Pākehā (Western) governance, enabling strategic use of administrative systems without compromising cultural integrity. Its flexible framework, including the development of Te Whare and Kaupapa Kōrero, allows for the incorporation of traditional decision-making within contemporary contexts.
Despite being entirely voluntary and under-resourced, the Rūnanga (tribal council) demonstrated deep commitment, viewing governance as a sacred duty to both ancestors and future generations. The project also acknowledges the structural limitations imposed by colonial legacies, including economic constraints that hinder the sustainability of unpaid leadership.
Te Remu Huia is both a reclaiming of Indigenous governance and a pragmatic response to modern challenges, offering a culturally grounded model for systemic transformation. It provides valuable insights for other Indigenous nations seeking to embed self-determination into leadership and health equity frameworks. The model continues to evolve through implementation and real-world piloting, representing a living expression of tino rangatiratanga. This article reflects on the lessons learned through the co-design process and emphasizes the power of Indigenous knowledge, collaboration, and resilience in reshaping governance to serve Indigenous aspirations on their own terms.En respuesta a la promulgación del acto Pae Ora (Futuros saludables) en Aotearoa/Nueva Zelanda, que prioriza la autodeterminación Maorí en materia de salud, la tribu Ngāti Hauiti inició un proyecto de investigación para desarrollar un modelo indígena de liderazgo, gobernanza y toma de decisiones basado en sus valores culturales. Esta iniciativa, liderada por Whakauae Research Services Ltd, culminó en el co-diseño de Te Remu Huia, un modelo construido a partir de las tikanga (costumbres) y las kōrero tuku iho (tradiciones orales) de Ngāti Hauiti.
Inspirado en las plumas caudales del ave huia, un emblema tribal de rangatiratanga (jefatura o liderazgo), el modelo redefine la gobernanza en torno al consenso, la identidad cultural y la responsabilidad intergeneracional. Utilizando una metodología Kaupapa Māori, el equipo realizó entrevistas en profundidad con 22 líderes maoríes y organizó múltiples wānanga (talleres) para desarrollar de manera colaborativa los principios, las personas y los procesos del modelo. El proceso de co-diseño puso énfasis en la confianza relacional, la reflexividad posicional y las experiencias vividas de los miembros del consejo.
Te Remu Huia integra el mātauranga Māori (conocimiento maorí) con herramientas prácticas de la gobernanza Pākehā (occidental), permitiendo un uso estratégico de los sistemas administrativos sin comprometer la integridad cultural. Su marco flexible, que incluye el desarrollo de Te Whare y Kaupapa Kōrero, facilita la incorporación de formas tradicionales de toma de decisiones en contextos contemporáneos.
A pesar de ser un trabajo completamente voluntario y con recursos limitados, el Rūnanga (consejo tribal) demostró un profundo compromiso, considerando la gobernanza como un deber sagrado hacia los antepasados y las generaciones futuras. El proyecto también reconoce las limitaciones estructurales impuestas por las herencias coloniales, incluidas las restricciones económicas que dificultan la sostenibilidad de los liderazgos no remunerados.
Te Remu Huia representa tanto una recuperación de la gobernanza indígena como una respuesta pragmática a los desafíos contemporáneos, ofreciendo un modelo culturalmente fundamentado para la transformación sistémica. Aporta conocimientos valiosos para otras naciones indígenas que buscan integrar la autodeterminación en sus marcos de liderazgo y equidad en salud. El modelo continúa evolucionando a través de su implementación y pilotaje en contextos reales, constituyendo una expresión viva del tino rangatiratanga. Este artículo reflexiona sobre las lecciones aprendidas durante el proceso de co-diseño y resalta el poder del conocimiento indígena, la colaboración y la resiliencia en la reconfiguración de la gobernanza al servicio de las aspiraciones indígenas en sus propios términos
Lessons and experiences in co-designing an Indigenous leadership, governance, and decision-making model: Te Remu Huia

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
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe 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
