Fig. 1 — At the top, a map (a) showing the number of times country names appeared in the article titles produced by each region. For all figures, we used data from the top 1000 articles in high-ranked Ecology and Evolution journals for each world region (see Data Availability at the end for a complete list of journals). World region was defined accordingly to the World Bank classification of the countries. Violin charts (b) represent the rarefied values (based on 1000 sampled articles) of the number of times articles published in each region (Latin America, USA and Canada, East Asia, Europe, Sub-Saharan, and Middle Africa) were cited in articles published by authors affiliated with institutions in different countries (from 1945 to 2023). On the bottom right of each violin chart is the Pielou evenness index; the lower the value, the more biased towards a given country, citing the papers produced in a given region disproportionally.
