Inequalities in the production and dissemination of biodiversity conservation knowledge on Tanzania: A 50-year bibliometric analysis

Mathew Bukhi Mabele et al.

Summary: This study examines the trends in research collaborations, scientific knowledge production, and authors' productivity in biodiversity conservation publications in Tanzania using the Web of Science database and bibliometric analysis techniques. The findings reveal the dominance of European and North American authors, research collaborations, and funding agencies, as well as the decreased productivity of local researchers in the last 30 years. The study contributes to the decolonization of conservation research by proposing practical areas to dismantle the unequal system of knowledge production.

Double-blind peer review affects reviewer ratings and editor decisions at an ecology journal

Charles W. Fox et al.

Summary: There is substantial evidence that systemic biases influence the scholarly peer review process. The effectiveness of double-blind peer review in reducing these biases is uncertain, as few randomized trials have manipulated blinding of author identities for journal submissions.

Parachute conservation: Investigating trends in international research

James Miller et al.

Summary: Parachute science, which refers to inequitable research relationships between Global North and South scientists, has negative impacts on researchers in conservation field in the Global South. By analyzing two international datasets of studies on conservation interventions conducted in English and non-English languages, we found that a significant number of English-language studies in the Global South were led by researchers affiliated with Global North institutions. These studies also had fewer locally affiliated lead authors and a higher percentage of studies without any locally affiliated authors. Similar patterns, although less pronounced, were found in non-English-language studies. We discuss the potential causes of these problematic findings and propose future directions to address unethical parachute conservation science.

Challenges encountered when doing research back home: Perspectives from African conservation scientists in the diaspora

Tuyeni H. Mwampamba et al.

Summary: African conservation scientists in the diaspora are a valuable resource for conservation efforts in Africa, but building cross-continental collaborations requires overcoming challenges such as parachute science, questioning of local-ness, accusations of nepotism, and the demand for groundbreaking research.

A partnership to build scientific capacity of Rwanda's future conservationists: The Memoirs Program

Winnie Eckardt et al.

Summary: The future of primates relies on conservationists in primate range countries having the necessary education and opportunities. Despite Rwanda being home to several primate species, their habitats are under threat. By training young individuals to become qualified conservationists, there is hope for more people to engage in conservation efforts in the future.

Conservation research output in sub-Saharan Africa is increasing, but only in a few countries

P. Christy Pototsky et al.

Summary: The study examined the increase in peer-reviewed conservation research output in sub-Saharan African countries over the past 30 years in response to development. Using bibliometric analysis, they found that factors like population size, GDP, literacy rate, and others influenced the research output, with only a few countries showing significant increase. The research also showed that primary authorship by African authors has increased, but is still dominated by scientists from other countries, likely due to socio-economic development constraints.

Mentorship, equity, and research productivity: lessons from a pandemic

Mallika A. Nocco et al.

Summary: The coronavirus pandemic has highlighted existing economic and social inequities in conservation science. As primary investigators and project leaders face unique challenges during this time, there is an opportunity to create more equitable and productive research environments for their teams. This paper aims to summarize the ways inequity is manifested on project teams, discuss equitable career advancement during the pandemic, and provide suggestions for equitable mentorship.

Women and Global South strikingly underrepresented among top-publishing ecologists

Bea Maas et al.

Summary: The study found that only 11% of the top-publishing authors in leading ecology, evolution, and conservation journals between 1945 and 2019 were women, and authors from countries in the Global South were underrepresented. The United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, and Canada accounted for over 75% of top-publishing authors. The number of women and authors from the Global South is slowly increasing over time.

The COVID-19 pandemic as a pivot point for biological conservation

Amanda E. Bates et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 lockdown highlighted the impact of humans on nature, and governments should prioritize long-term ecosystem and economic sustainability instead of short-term gains. The pandemic could serve as an opportunity for societal transformation towards valuing ecological and economic sustainability in the long run.

Avoiding wasted research resources in conservation science

Rachel T. Buxton et al.

Summary: Scientific evidence is crucial for effective conservation, but research resources are often wasted due to biased allocation, irrelevant questions, flawed studies, and poor reporting. The solution lies in knowledge co-creation and open science practices to prevent such waste.
