An emerging movement aims to push researchers to pay more heed to inequities in scholarly citations.
The same year, the publisher Cell Press invited authors to fill in standardized ‘inclusion and diversity’ forms when they submit articles, in which scientists can share information about aspects of their research that took diversity into consideration — including gender balance in reference lists. This February, the publisher; among those who did, almost one-third ticked a box stating that they “actively worked to promote gender balance in our reference list”.
Neha Kumar at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta has run workshops on citational justice focused on scholars in the global south.Most scientists involved in citational justice efforts say they have experienced some backlash. Bassett says that after presentations, there are always a few people who provide a mix of critical comments.
Many of those involved in citational-justice efforts agree that the current use of citational metrics needs to be overhauled. But because people do use citational metrics in evaluations, encouraging individual scholars to change their practices is a worthwhile endeavour, says Bassett. “Doing the right thing to change the number feels more important than telling people to not use the number at all,” they say.
