Call for Papers - Special Issue: Citational Politics and Justice
KULA: Knowledge Creation, Dissemination, and Preservation Studies is inviting papers for a special issue on citational politics and justice edited by Sally Wyatt, Professor of Digital Cultures, Maastricht University. Citation remains a cornerstone of scholarly and scientific work. It is how we acknowledge those on whose shoulders we stand, and with whom we are in conversation. It is also an important service to our readers. However, like many academic practices, citation is neither neutral nor universal. There are important differences between disciplines and language groups, and how and what we cite changes over time. There is also a great deal of evidence suggesting that the conscious and unconscious biases and discrimination that marks so much of our world also shapes who gets cited. Such bias serves to render the contributions of marginalised groups less visible. This special issue seeks to explore how we can achieve greater citational and epistemic justice.
