Title:
The Drastic Under-representation of African Researchers in Africa-related Research
 
Abstract: 
In an ever more connected world one would expect to see collaborative efforts in academia build bridges between nations, continents and peoples.  While the internet and digitisation have broken down boundaries and significantly lowered the financial obstacles as well as delays in time that came with international partnerships, collaborations seem to have been strengthened between industrialised nations.  In this talk, I will analyse publication data of articles, notes and presentations on that reference the continent of Africa, as well as nations past or present on the continent and investigate the distribution of author affiliation within and outside the continent.

Bio:
