The research of Mason and Merga highlights the "persistent western hegemony" in published work within their own field of higher education and the problematic nature of citation based metrics in connection to privileging research from anglophone countries.
Their blog post suggests practical ways that researchers can draw on relevant scholarship from less cited nations and academics to promote greater diversity in published research:
"Bibliometric studies in various fields have shown that the ‘top’ journals are heavily dominated by research produced in and about a small number of ‘core’ countries, mostly the USA and the UK, and thus reproduce existing global power imbalances within and beyond academia.”
