Just a thought: reading a journals TOC... how real is the diversity in academic papers?
@Lindacq journals are (generally) white, western, male, english-speaking. Tagging in @czernie for more detail.
@dkernohan @czernie true! moreover nowadays there are "trends" and publishing machines... how to read about research?
@Lindacq @czernie I presented on some aspects of this at #opened16 - which may be of limited interest http://followersoftheapocalyp.se/all-the-words-of-wisdom-sound-the-same-opened16/
@dkernohan @Lindacq thanks for the link, I had somehow missed your blog posting at http://followersoftheapocalyp.se/all-the-words-of-wisdom-sound-the-same-opened16/. Proceed with caution indeed. Is is an intrinsic human need to measure and validate and reward (and compete)? Intrinsic or not #altmetrics and the open education movement should indeed proceed with caution and avoid falling in to the Same Old Traps of measurement and simplification
