Abstract

Emerging from research dating back to the 1980's, citation justice is the practice of citing research based on both content and an author's identity. Due to citation gaps that exist across disciplines, citation practice is changing to cite authors of more diverse genders, races, and other marginalized identities. Librarians are uniquely situated in academic institutions to teach and encourage students and faculty to adjust their citation practice to close these gaps. This chapter describes citation justice in detail and describes the evidence for the need adjust citation practice to include identity. In addition, this chapter explores why librarians can effect the most change, and how this change needs to begin with students, before discussing the various ways librarian instruction can incorporate citation justice into their work.
