Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of three modes of assessing academic scholars’ productivity, based on their education history and their publication output. The sample consists of the career paths of 231 authors from the Global South that includes the places of their BA, MA and Ph.D. education and their production in terms of the number of their Scopus-indexed articles. The analysis found that there is no general rule determines that Global North education would result in higher productivity, and the paper will argue that favoring productive authors without Global North education would be not just ethical but also deliberately reasonable in the restricted sense of instrumental reason.

缩小差距:缩小以学术资本为权重衡量学术成就时的全球南北偏差

本文根据学者的教育经历和学术成果，分析了学者生产力的三种评估模式。样本包括来自全球南方的231位作者的职业道路，包括他们的学士学位、硕士学位和博士学位的教育地点，以及他们在scopus索引下发表的文章数量。分析发现，没有一般规则决定全球北方教育将导致更高的生产力，本文将认为，在没有全球北方教育的情况下，支持富有成效的作者不仅是道德的，而且在工具理性的限制意义上也是故意合理的。

期刊介绍： KOME is a theory and pure research-oriented journal of communication studies and related fields. Therefore theoretical researches and discussions that help to understand better, or reconceptualize the understanding of communication or the media are its center of interests; being either an useful supplement to, or a reasonable alternative to current models and theories. Given the connection between theory and empirical research, we are open to submissions of empirical papers if the research demonstrates a clear endorsement of communication and media theories. We are also committed to the ideas of trans- and interdisciplinarity and prefer topics that are relevant for more than one special discipline of social sciences. Articles published in KOME should represent the diversity that comprises the study of communication and related disciplines, regardless of philosophical paradigms and in favor of methodological pluralism. KOME encourage the use of non-sexist language in research writing.
