Abstract

Showing ‘the world of science’, the maps accompanying this article portrays global research production as expressed through science journals’ publishing in the early 2000s as well as the growth in science output between 1990 and 2001. It makes a dramatic point about the complexities of global inequalities in knowledge production and exchange. What would it take to redraw the knowledge production map to realise a vision of a more equitable and accurate world of knowledge? Disparities Knowledge creation and dissemination are, of course, crucially shaped by the practicalities of money and technology.
