I have written several threads on why you should diversify your citations, cite PoC, marginalized scholars, and those from the Global South, in other languages, etc. BUT I want to add one to the mix as it's the subject of a current pet peeve of mine. Cite ACROSS DISCIPLINES.
I saw an RCT (yes, THAT RCT) where authors are running a field experiment on protests & social movements that doesn't cite the literature on protests and social movements (smartly, however, don't think I didn't notice, they DO cite prominent scholars who run field experiments)
This is an economics RCT which purports to understand the politics and mechanisms of motivation to protest, which you know, political science and sociology already have analyzed at length. I'm getting to the point where I'm bored to death of parochialism across disciplines.
