Citation Justice and Research
Citation Justice or Inclusive Citation is a practice rooted in theories of intersectionality. Through citation justice, scholars engage in critical awareness of how the systems of academic publication create barriers to equity for all perspectives to be heard. A citation justice practice works to remedy these injustices through purposeful use of diverse citations and critical expansion of definitions of authority that were historically created to exclude or silence. One strategy is to include in your research databases that are curated to provide research from the lens of specific identities based on ethnicity, culture, race, gender, or other factors.
