title: Authorship patterns in information systems

authors: Cunningham, Sally Jo

subjects: computer science

abstract: This paper examines the patterns of multiple authorship in five information systems journals. Specifically, we determine the distribution of the number of authors per paper in this field, the proportion of male and female authors, gender composition of research teams, and the incidence of collaborative relationships spanning institutional affiliations and across different geographic regions.

title: A paradigm sensitive perspective on the ranking of accounting journals: A web-based survey approach

authors: Lowe, Alan

subjects: perception study

abstract: This paper reports the result of a web-based perception study of the ranking of widely-held accounting journals in Australia. Journal ranking studies have generally adopted citation techniques or academic perceptions as the basis for assessing journal quality. The survey instrument was designed to take advantage of the capabilities of a web site to enable an interactive perception based survey. The research contributes to the existing literature in two main ways, (1) applying a web-based survey technique and (2) a new approach to journal ranking that allows respondents to classify the journals according to methodological perspective. The aim of our research is to address specific shortcomings in the existing literature and construct an alternative view of how we might more appropriately assess journal “quality” within a “paradigm” sensitive framework. The results of the survey indicate that journals that represent an ‘alternative’ approach to the mainstream U.S. journals are more highly ranked that in previous U.S. and U.K. studies. A comparison with a recent survey by Cassar & Holmes (1999) also suggests that the Australian rankings have changed over time.

title: Creating a curriculum for indigenous and community languages: Te reo Māori as an example

authors: Bruce, Ian

subjects: linguistics

abstract: Part 1 of this paper introduces the draft Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) for languages and describes how it was used in the construction of draft New Zealand curriculum guidelines for French and German. Part 2 discusses how the CEFR has been employed in curriculum development in Te Reo Māori at the University of Waikato and suggests that it could also prove useful in relation to curriculum development projects involving indigenous and community languages more generally.
