In today’s interconnected world, the Global South contributes a wealth of valuable resources. Unfortunately, many libraries’ methodologies and processes may unintentionally overlook these resources.
Watch this insightful webinar, where we were delighted to be joined by John Barbrook from Lancaster University where we explored the concept of citation justice. This concept seeks to increase the citations of authors from the Global South by increasing the visibility and accessibility to open access resources and grey literature.
The wealth of literature that Google Scholar indexes means it is an excellent source to support diverse searching, however some find the interface has less functionality than other databases. See how Lean Library can facilitate access to openly available material and grey literature, enhancing access and facilitating routes to widening out scholarly output in under-represented areas.
