Decolonizing Writing & Scholarship
- Recalibrating the scope of scholarly publishing: A modest step in a vast decolonization processScholarly communication is more of a global endeavor than what is often perceived. It is important to search beyond databases such as Web of Science and Scopus as many journals are absent from these databases. This study analyzes often-excluded journals.

Language Expertise
Limiting study inclusion to only English language publications for a knowledge synthesis study should be avoided as it may lead to language bias. It is important to include a global range of evidence and this can be done by having a language expert (other than English) on the team to screen studies.
