“…Many universities across the globe have responded to the international demand for scholarly dissemination in journals adjudged as the standard by developing prointernational publishing policies (Aaltojärvi et al, 2008;Antikainen, 2008;Dennis et al, 2006;Hemmings et al, 2007;Jubber, 2007;Vanderstraeten, 2010Vanderstraeten, , 2011. In many developing countries, and in Nigeria in particular, international publishing may not necessarily mean publishing in impact factor and/or indexed journals, but publishing in journals located outside the borders of the countries of the intellectual actor in particular (Omobowale, 2010;Omobowale et al, 2013).…”

“…Impact factor, journal indexing and the dominance of the English language have all been described as factors that disadvantage non-English speaking and non-western academies and journals in the global academy (Bajerski, 2011;Harris, 2001;Tsuda, 1998;Vanderstraeten, 2010Vanderstraeten, , 2011. As nationals of an official English speaking country, Nigerian academics are enabled to present their ideas in the 'dominant language' (that is, English).…”

Peripheral scholarship and the context of foreign paid publishing in Nigeria

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Lately, a phenomenal dimension of peripheral scholarship, compulsorily demanding the ‘foreign’, has evolved into the practice of paid publishing in ‘foreign’ journals among Nigerian academics. These ‘foreign’ journals afford speedy publishing at a fee with little or no peer review. This study is a descriptive research which collected qualitative data through 30 in-depth interviews conducted with academics in two federal universities in Nigeria. The findings established that though some universities are beginning to question their intellectual validity and propriety, predatory paid-for foreign journals remain popular among academics desirous to satisfy the ‘international publishing rule’ for promotion at all costs. Lacking international scholarly credibility, predatory journals will not advance Nigerian scholarship into the global scholarly mainstream which the ‘international rule’ ultimately seeks.

“…Internationalization pressures may take different forms in different scholarly 'cultures' (Lepenies, 1985). They may also affect different national communities and their journals in different ways (Vanderstraeten, 2010(Vanderstraeten, , 2011. To study their effects in Chile, we primarily make use of the same tool as most science administrators, viz.…”

Internationalization pressures are omnipresent in the world of science. Scholars and administrators now often make use of international impact as a yardstick by which to assess the quality of national scholarship. However, little is hitherto known about the effects of the internationalization incentives at the level of specific national scientific communities. This article presents an analysis of the forms of internationalization in Chile over a period of four decades, from 1976 to 2015. Using Web of Science data, the article looks at the evolution for both publications and citations and examines the internationalization pressures on Chilean scholars and Chilean journals in relation to changes at the level of publication language and co-authorship. The article particularly focuses on the differences between the three cultures (humanities, natural sciences and social sciences). Building on the findings, the article concludes with some suggestions for research policy.

“…But much standardization was not yet envisaged: “The amount of bibliographical detail to be included in references is left to the discretion of each contributor” (e.g., Isis 1948, 140–141; Isis 1949, 410–411; Isis 1951, 168–169). In the following decades, however, Isis adopted and implemented a single style for citations, which is largely concordant with the modern historical apparatus of footnotes and references (see also Cronin 1984; Grafton 1997, 223–235; Abbott 1999, 144–147; Gross, Harmon, and Reidy 2007, 214–228; Vanderstraeten 2011).…”

Disciplined by the Discipline: A Social-Epistemic Fingerprint of the History of Science

The scientific system is primarily differentiated into disciplines. While disciplines may be wide in scope and diverse in their research practices, they serve scientific communities that evaluate research and also grant recognition to what is published. The analysis of communication and publication practices within such a community hence allows us to shed light on the dynamics of this discipline. On the basis of an empirical analysis of Isis, we show how the process of discipline-building in history of science has led its practitioners to be socialized and sensitized in relatively strong intra-disciplinary terms--with minimal interdisciplinary openness.
