THIS TALK
o General inequalities of knowledge production & dissemination
o The emerging complexities of the digital o Two cases of discoverability & visibility
A view from the global south, a marginal perspective

Knowledge production and disseminationhave always been
fraught contested unequal

“The global economy is a dynamic and often turbulent affair. It doesn’t produce
a simple dichotomy. It does produce massive structures of centrality and marginality, whose main axis is the
metropole-periphery, North-South relationship.“
(Connell 2007, 2014)

Genres
• Journal article
• Books• Book chapters• Monographs• Technical
reports
• Scholarly blogs• Websites• Multimodal
outputs
• Consultancy reports
• Etc.

TYPES OF RESEARCHo Different types of research
• Different genres• Different audiences
o A typology of research types• Discovery – traditional empirical, generalizable explanations or theories • Interpretive - interpretation of phenomena not search for generalizable explanations
• Applied – applied enquiry, problem solving, may include consultancy
• Integrative – use-inspired basic research
• Teaching and Learning – scholarship of T&L
(Kell and Czerniewicz 2016; Czerniewicz and Kell 2014)
![Page 17: Laura Czerniewicz Open Repositories Conference 2016 Dublin](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f8e31a28ab4e3a8b5027/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
REWARD SYSTEMSo In South Africa the national department
of education (DHET) gives universities +/- $13000 for every article published in
• The Sciences Citation Index of the Institute of Scientific Information (ISI)
• The Social Sciences Citation Index of the ISI • The Arts and Humanities Citation Index of the ISI • The International Bibliography of Social Sciences (IBSS) • A list of approved South African Journals
o The majority of SA universities give a % directly to the authors
![Page 18: Laura Czerniewicz Open Repositories Conference 2016 Dublin](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f8e31a28ab4e3a8b5027/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CITATIONSo Valorisation of citation counts in
academia• Citations used for promotion• Measure of reputation
o Citations have their uneven geographies• Citing those from the global north• Keeping the networks closed
o Altmetrics’ slow acceptance
![Page 19: Laura Czerniewicz Open Repositories Conference 2016 Dublin](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f8e31a28ab4e3a8b5027/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
ACCESSIBILITY o Research is generally not easily
accessible to those in the South • works that are more easily found will
likely be more frequently cited • 54% of respondents in SARUA universities
said research output exists; of these 90% said that ready accessibility is hampered
• Budget cuts in library subscriptions
(Abrahams et al 2008)

Who publishes?What about?
What does an “international” high impact journal look like?
![Page 22: Laura Czerniewicz Open Repositories Conference 2016 Dublin](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f8e31a28ab4e3a8b5027/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
WHO GETS PUBLISHEDo Of the articles published in international
peer-reviewed journals• USA academics 30%• Developing country academics 20%
• of which half from China, India, Brazil, Turkey, Mexico
• Sub Saharan Africa 1% of total
(Hassan 2008)
![Page 23: Laura Czerniewicz Open Repositories Conference 2016 Dublin](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f8e31a28ab4e3a8b5027/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
A CASE IN POINT Authorship per country AMJ, AMR, ASQ and JIBS (2006-2010),
Four high impact social science journals
(Hamann, 2012)
![Page 24: Laura Czerniewicz Open Repositories Conference 2016 Dublin](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f8e31a28ab4e3a8b5027/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Empirical focus AMJ, AMR, ASQ and JIBS (2006-2010)
(Hamann, 2012)
![Page 25: Laura Czerniewicz Open Repositories Conference 2016 Dublin](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f8e31a28ab4e3a8b5027/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
o At the same time Northern authors publish about the South• A study of 2 top African studies
journals 1993 - 2013 found• the percentage of articles by Africa-based
authors has declined• not lower submission rates from Africa but
low and declining acceptance rates• Africa-based scholars are systematically
cited less than others
(Briggs and Weathers, 2016)
![Page 26: Laura Czerniewicz Open Repositories Conference 2016 Dublin](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f8e31a28ab4e3a8b5027/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
WHO DECIDES?
“We editors seek a global status for our journals, but we shut out the experiences and practices of those living in poverty by our (unconscious) neglect. One group is advantaged while the other is marginalised.”
Richard Horton, editor of The Lancet
Chan,2012, /www.slideshare.net/lesliechan/remapping-the-local-and-the-global
In short, international = global north
![Page 27: Laura Czerniewicz Open Repositories Conference 2016 Dublin](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f8e31a28ab4e3a8b5027/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
WHY THIS MATTERSo Local knowledge
• Needs to be available to others in similar conditions
• Is a necessary and often missing contribution to global knowledge
o A plurality of knowledge/s is good for science • A knowledge production & dissemination
system that sidelines three quarters of the world is bad for everyone
![Page 28: Laura Czerniewicz Open Repositories Conference 2016 Dublin](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f8e31a28ab4e3a8b5027/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
“African scholars face a critical choice between sacrificing relevance for recognition,
or recognition for relevance”
(Nyamnjoh 2010)
![Page 29: Laura Czerniewicz Open Repositories Conference 2016 Dublin](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f8e31a28ab4e3a8b5027/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

The internet changed the nature of networks by making them more inclusive and easy to participate in
(Castells 1996)
![Page 31: Laura Czerniewicz Open Repositories Conference 2016 Dublin](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f8e31a28ab4e3a8b5027/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
(Lessig, 2003)
For the first time in a millennium, we have a technology to equalise the opportunity that people have to access and participate in the construction of knowledge and culture, regardless of their geographical placing.

New opportunities tocollapse distance
enable easier cross-country collaborations create possibilities for knowledge production & sharing
![Page 35: Laura Czerniewicz Open Repositories Conference 2016 Dublin](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f8e31a28ab4e3a8b5027/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Digital affords open
Digital = open
Digital affords closed
At each stage new layers of complexity
![Page 36: Laura Czerniewicz Open Repositories Conference 2016 Dublin](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f8e31a28ab4e3a8b5027/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
o Each stage can be analysed in terms of: • Social relations – power relations, networks
& relationships• Audiences – forms of scholar-to-scholar,
scholar-to- student and scholar-to-community communication
• Forms – genres, platforms and modes (eg linguistic, visual, aural and multimodal)
(Czerniewicz & Kell 2014; Kell and Czerniewicz 2016)
![Page 37: Laura Czerniewicz Open Repositories Conference 2016 Dublin](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f8e31a28ab4e3a8b5027/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
There is a danger that the information revolution could exacerbate sociospatial segregation
(Castells, 1998)
and create ‘dual cities’ of inhabitants that occupy vastly different spheres of knowledge.

AFFORDABILITY: IT’S THE DATA, NOT THE DEVICE
o Affordability (5% monthly income)• Entry level -100MB; maturing – 500MB; connected -
2GB• In Sub-Saharan Africa, 53% could afford access of
only 20 MB, (enough for SMS & email)

The new currency: discoverability
If it is not online, it does not exist
If it can’t be found, it does not exist
Visibility is a requirement for participation
![Page 46: Laura Czerniewicz Open Repositories Conference 2016 Dublin](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f8e31a28ab4e3a8b5027/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Why this mattersWhat is found online shapes what comes to be known
“Visibility and invisibility in material space are increasingly being defined by prominence, ranking,
and presence on the Internet”
(Graham and Zook 2011)
![Page 47: Laura Czerniewicz Open Repositories Conference 2016 Dublin](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f8e31a28ab4e3a8b5027/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
SEARCH ENGINES
o The primary way that content is found• By academics in all disciplines • By NGOs• By students • BY professionals
(De Groote et al 2014, Catalano 2013, de Satgé, 2012, Waller 2011)
![Page 48: Laura Czerniewicz Open Repositories Conference 2016 Dublin](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f8e31a28ab4e3a8b5027/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
SEARCH ENGINESo Co-producers of knowledgeo Surrogate experts o Play a role as “switchers’ between
networkso Engine’s social relations invisible
• Seem naturalised and normalo Not neutral
• Reflect societal disparities• Shaped by algorithms
(Halavais 2013; Van Dijck 2010, Rogers, 2009)

o Climate change• Consequences matter world wide• A new disciplinary field, scholarly
communication practices not yet entrenched
• Different strategies promoted by researchers from the North (mitigation) and the South (adaptation)
• The ability to set research agendas critical
• Do new ICT-practices help do this?
![Page 75: Laura Czerniewicz Open Repositories Conference 2016 Dublin](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f8e31a28ab4e3a8b5027/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
o Analysis climate change publications 1980 – 2013:• USA dominance of the field • Other countries from the Global North
consistently in top 7• Canada, Germany, England and France
• Major shift China’s rise to 2nd place in 2013 • South Africa fallen from 15th place to 24th

An investigation into one climate change research group (CCRG)
From the outside in and the inside out
Has their involvement helped to redraw structurally embedded patterns of power,
voice and representation?
(Czerniewicz et al 2016)
![Page 77: Laura Czerniewicz Open Repositories Conference 2016 Dublin](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062821/5886f8e31a28ab4e3a8b5027/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
THE INVESTIGATIONo Outside in
• Searching on Google Scholar • Climate change• Climate change South Africa
o Inside out• Mapping the climate change group’s
online presence• Interviews

o CCRG researchers’ views• Online presence takes time, money and
expertise• Hard choices regarding how to use limited
resources• Tensions between what makes a
contribution, what is academically rewarded, what brings in funds
INSIDE OUT: CCRG ONLINE PRESENCE

o New opportunities and old reward systems
I want the visibility and impact of our work. I have slaved over the research and the research report
might just gather dust on a shelf, no-one will ever read it. I believe that the traditional metrics are limited …
I know that our research reports are not captured in those systems. There are other people who look at research
differently. I think things can still change.
o The consequences of online invisibilitySo many Southern voices get lost so we have no choice but to
listen to the North because there is no alternative

In knowledge creation and dissemination
The online adds major complexities to the abiding global inequalities of power and
resources
Open scholarship is only meaningful if everyone can both access and participate
