DESCRIPTION:Naming practices such as mentioning the sample’s country of o
 rigin in your title/abstract has shown to be skewed towards Global South c
 ountries. Routinely\, scholars researching WEIRD populations don’t menti
 on the sample geography that their findings are in relation to. In this li
 ghtning talk\, I will discuss the implications of this localization on key
  indicators of academic impact\, such as social media mentions\, policy re
 ferences\, and traditional citation-based metrics. Open-source databases l
 ike OpenAlex\, with improved coverage of Global South research\, allow us 
 to investigate these bibliographic questions of meta-scientific interest. 
 By assessing the relationship between localization in article titles and r
 esearch impact\, we can critically evaluate the persistent norm of broad g
 eneralisation in scientific findings. This discussion seeks to challenge o
 vergeneralization and the inappropriate application of research conclusion
 s across diverse global contexts.
