Why coverage matters https://www.leidenmadtrics.nl/articles/why-coverage-matters-invisibility-of-agricultural-research-from-the-global-south-may-be-an-obstacle-to-development
"another bibliographic world is possible where knowledge is more diverse and accessible – and this is important for agricultural research to be more visible and accessible in and from the Global South ... While currently no single commercial bibliographic database has good coverage of agriculture, new generation of databases in conjunction with metadata aggregators from open access repositories may help fill this gap"

@LudoWaltman@social.cwts.nl @leidenmadtrics@social.cwts.nl @ismaelrafols@social.cwts.nl Agree. Interesting to hear last year from @cameronneylon@scholar.social, that citations of papers from #Wageningen UR had notably high Shannon Information in the citers' country of affiliation. This looked like strong #agriculture #research attracting re-use in diverse countries, including the Global South. #SDG2
