In the following study, we analyze the usage of Twitter during four scientific conferences with focus on humanities and computer science. Automated analyses of tweets, retweets and @-messages were performed as well as an intellectual analysis of the tweets’ contents.

Canadian and international guidelines address the ethical conduct of health research in general and the issues affecting Indigenous populations in particular. This statement summarizes, for clinicians and researchers, relevant ethical and practical considerations for health research involving Aboriginal children and youth. While not intended to duplicate findings arising from lengthy collaborat...

Recent genomic studies of both ancient and modern indigenous people of the Americas have shed light on the demographic processes involved during the first peopling. The Pacific Northwest Coast proves an intriguing focus for these studies because of its association with coastal migration models and genetic ancestral patterns that are difficult to reconcile with modern DNA alone. Here, we report ...

In general terms, indigenous research is any study about a uniquely local phenomenon that examines its local (emic) implications and/or its global (etic) implications. Whether a study is indigenous or not can be judged by a simple rule that the study involves at least one construct or variable unique to a local phenomenon. Further, the quality of an indigenous study can be assessed by the novel...

Research within Indigenous communities has been criticised for lacking community engagement, for being exploitative, and for poorly explaining the processes of research. To address these concerns, and to ensure 'best practice', Jamieson, et al. (2012) recently published a summary of principles outlined by the NHMRC (2003) in "one short, accessible document". Here we expand on Jamieson et al.'s ...

In 2003, the Productivity Commission report Overcoming Indigenous Disadvantage: Key Indicators 2003 demonstrated that Australia now has an extensive (though not time-deep) statistical archive through which we can compare Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. The report points to twelve ‘headline indicators’, and seven ‘strategic areas for action’, and it operationalises the ‘strategic areas for...

Objective This paper explores the body of knowledge around Indigenous health research and aims to outline what roles are appropriate for non-Indigenous researchers within Indigenous health research in Australia. Methods A literature review was conducted using CINAHL, PubMed and Scopus in May 2015. The search terms were 'non-Indigenous researchers' AND 'Indigenous health research' and other comb...

While many studies investigated the higher morbidity and mortality levels of indigenous Australians in the high-density indigenous areas in the Northern Territory, Western Australia and South Australia, few examined the situation in New South Wales, where more than 28% of the indigenous population lives. Admissions to acute public and private hospitals in New South Wales for 1989-1995 are used ...

Much of the current diversity literature in science education does not address the complexity of the issues of indigenous learners in their postcolonial environments and calls for a “one size fits all” instructional approach (Lee, 2001). Indigenous knowledge needs to be promoted and supported. There is currently a global initiative of maintaining worldviews, languages, and environments of which...
