💭 “In the World of Citations, Are We Really Open(Minded), or Stuck in a Comfort Zone?” This is the question at the core of the project presented today by the second-year students of the Digital Humanities and Digital Knowledge Master's programme at Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna, during the final workshop of the Open Science course taught by Silvio Peroni. The project builds upon a recently published preprint by Andreose, Heibi, Peroni, and Zilli (2026), which assessed and compared the coverage of Italian publications in OpenCitations across six Italian universities: UNIBO, UNIMI, UNITO, UNIPD, UPO, and SNS. Starting from this foundation, the students investigated citation patterns in institutional publication data, focusing on geographical and disciplinary aspects. ✍️The students' article is available on Zenodo: https://lnkd.in/gVNp4hKN 🌐The project's website: https://lnkd.in/gr_iJYd2 #DHDK #BolDH
