Inevitable Inequalities or Mismanaged Academic Recognition? In Pursuit of Epistemic Justice in Global Higher Education

Anatoly Oleksiyenko, Bruce Macfarlane, Miron Bhowmik, Michelle Cheng, and Yusuf Ikbal OldacEpistemic and citational injustice has become a major concern in global knowledge production (Dübgen, 2020; Gilaldi & McMillan, 2022; Lund, Blackmore & Rowlands, 2024; Pereira, 2024). The scientists in the Global South, as well as in the marginalized groups at major universities often find their concepts and practices neglected, and thus, their voices and conceptual perspectives are under-represented in pu

“The junk papers are likely the products of paper mills—businesses that produce fake science to order.”

Richard Van Noorden @richvn.bsky.social · Nov 29

A growing problem --- fake papers polluting systematic reviews. And interesting point that the gold-standard protocols that Cochrane is developing to weed out untrustworthy studies, are too much of an effort for systematic-review authors looking at 100s of papers. www.science.org/content/arti...

‘Systematic reviews’ that aim to extract broad conclusions from many studies are in peril

Fake papers are “poisoning the well” for these gold-standard syntheses, researchers say

I started being regularly published when I was 25. I didn't make my first dollar writing until I was 30. I didn't sell my first novel or screenplay until I was 35. Many of you hadn't even heard of anything I'd written until I was over 40.

You have time. There is no expiration date on writers.

"Macron’s initial vision was for only 20 alliances. The fact that there are now 64 raises critical questions that go beyond that of adequate funding. Do so many test beds dilute policy focus? Can such a large number be effectively coordinated?" @timeshighered.bsky.social

Are there too many European university alliances?

Five years in, the Macron-inspired project can be considered a success. But its long-term sustainability needs a clearer political strategy, says Luc Sels
