These practices have been persistent in the Global South for decades and often lead to citational injustice, where authors from resource-poor countries are not cited enough for research they may have contributed to because they do not receive credit. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm 0cm 8pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">On third day of the conference, one of the participants, Francis Kombe, a founding member of the African Research Integrity Network, an early career researcher, and promoter of research integrity in Africa called out the colonialism that still prevails in science.
