Title: | Decolonizing Knowledge Production: Perspective on Promotion and Tenure Regulations in Palestine and beyond | Authors: | Kassis, Mudar Giacaman, Rita Hashweh, Maher |

This is especially true when it comes to using scientometric criteria in the evaluation of knowledge produced by Arab academics and which gives preference to English language over Arabic language publications, to journals over monographs, and when adopting Western assumptions about the form and substance of academic knowledge production. Consequently, Arab universities expand the reach of Western dominance and its control techniques. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11889/8353 | DOI: | 10.1080/19436149.2022.2052466 |
