Citing responsibly

It is important to think about who you are crediting in your work, and recognize bias, power, and privilege in academic scholarship.

  • Follow this short citational politics training module from CLEAR to understand how your citations have power.
  • Your article passes the Gray test if you cite and discuss the scholarship of at least two women and two non-white people.
