What is Citation Justice - Online workshop

As researchers and authors we cite others to acknowledge an intellectual debt.  These citations become a proxy for influence and confer a sense of power. 

It has been shown that there is a disproportionate bias towards citations of western, white males in the literature of many disciplines.  

In the workshop participants will develop an understanding of how the ‘canon’ of many disciplines has emerged and how we might begin to find and cite a wider variety of voices.  It will introduce the idea of ‘citation diversity statements’ and suggest tools for finding literature that is more representative of the global majority.
