Why Do We Need to Learn about Citational Practices?

摘要

Recognizing Knowledge Production from the Global Souths and Beyond. How do you decide which papers to cite, how many, and from which particular sources? We reflect and discuss the implications of these critical questions based on our experiences in the panel and workshops on the topic of citational justice that took place at CSCW, CLIHC, and India HCI in 2021.By Citational Justice Collective, Amy Ogan, Frederick van Amstel, Gabriela Molina Leon, Juan Fernando Maestre, Kristin Williams, Nicola J Bidwell, Pedro Reynolds-Cuellar, Saiph Savage, Sushil Oswal, and Vishal Sharma Recent attention to citational justice in the field of HCI 1,2,3 has led to workshops in India, Latin America, and elsewhere on the topic. While reflecting after the workshops, we often returned to the question: Are current practices in computer science citationally just for researchers contributing from the Global Souths~a as well as the North? We argue a stance must be taken in this public debate.
