#maryabukutsa took a holistic approach. Research was never about "publishing." It was about changing the knowledge landscape to deeply integrate the benefits of #AIVs across the ecosystem: Farmers, policy makers, students, etc. #openscience #AFricanResearch #AfricanScience #academicsky
#maryabukutsa couldn't access her papers in #highimpact journals bc they were paywalled. Paying to make them #openaccess was not possible. After that, she stopped publishing in paywalled journals. #openscience #academicsky #agriculture #AfricanResearch #africanscience
#maryabukutsa - "If you're asking me to review regularly, how is my research not relevant to your readership? I may be wrong but that was my own conclusion." #openscience #academicsky #agriculture #AfricanResearch #africanscience
#maryabukutsa #gatekeeping high impact journals include:
1. Lab is not "trusted"
2. Crop is not important (weed)
3. Topic not relevant (despite asking her to review!)
#openscience #agriculture #AfricanResearch #academicsky
#maryabukutsa #citation explosion over time reflect the USEFULNESS of thhere work -- as opposed to citations as a means of driving recognition/awards/prestige. She views that citation growth as a sign that the work is useful for others. #openscience #academicsky #agriculture #Africanresearch
#maryabukutsa advocacy has been the source of driving her outputs -- publications, speaking engagements, conferences, books, theses etc. Openness enabled her to have much broader reach -- this drove her #scicomm work (not the other way around). #openscience #academicsky #agriculture #Africanresearch
#maryabukutsa saw the value of advocacy as a way of highlighting the urgency of science to concretely improve lives. Networking/advocacy to raise other voices. #openscience #academicsky #agriculture #Africanresearch
