Significance Contemporary social sciences aim to be diverse and inclusive, but traces of the historical dominance of Western European and North American academic institutions persist in scientific practices. One such practice is the phrasing of article titles. Our analysis shows that articles studying the global North are systematically less likely to mention the name of the country they study in their title compared to articles on the global South. This constitutes, potentially, an unwarranted claim on universality and may lead to lesser recognition of global South studies. Social and behavioral scientists must reflect on the phrasing of their article titles to avoid reproducing harmful relations of intellectual domination which limit inclusivity and constitute a barrier to the generalizability of scientific knowledge.
"Bandito heroes flourish in many cultures because they symbolize a virtually universal belief: that at times it's necessary to break the law in order to obtain justice," writes historian Paul Vanderwood (1992, p. xix). The idea of justice does seem to animate many of the stories associated with the borderlands' most famous outlaws. For example, retaliatory justice appears to be at the heart of the literal violence that Joaquin Murrieta inflicted on California Anglos during the nineteenth century. Joaquin Murrieta became famous for his lightning-fast robberies and bloody assaults in California during the 1850s Gold Rush. Reportedly, Murrieta was set on his fiery path as the result of racially-tinged violence aimed at him years earlier by white residents (Irwin, 2007).

[ES] El profesor Nathan Rosenberg de la Universidad de Stanford (USA) es uno de los mayores expertos del mundo en políticas de innovación y la relación entre la investigación y la industria. A su paso por nuestro país en mayo del año 2005 durante unas conferencias realizadas en Madrid y Barcelona dejaba el siguiente titular "España va a sufrir mucho si no empieza a innovar". Sin embargo, al tiempo que señalaba la evidencia de "no hay elección, se debe innovar", vinculaba especialmente el esfuerzo innovador con la modificación de las políticas para facilitar la creación de empresas y la ayuda para encontrar la financiación privada. Esto es, el emprendimiento, como motor de la innovación antes que el incremento significativo de las inversiones públicas de la Unión Europea en Investigación y Desarrollo (I+D), ¿qué ha ocurrido desde entonces? ; [EN] Professor Nathan Rosenberg of Stanford University (USA) is one of the world's greatest experts on innovation policies and the relationship between research and industry.

However, while the evidence indicated "no choice, they must innovate", particularly innovative effort linked to the modification of policies to facilitate the creation of enterprises and help to find private financing.

AbstractFor generations, Mexican and American Indian populations reciprocally and ritualistically took captives from one another's societies in what are today the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. These captive-taking wars breached the expansion of the American state into the west (1850s) and tested the ability of the American state to enforce law and policy in a frontier environment. This intriguing history, however, has yet to be addressed in legal and social science research on race. Our goal in this article is two-fold: (1) to determine whether the captive status of individuals taken in these endemic borderland wars is visible within surviving U.S. administrative materials (e.g., census); and (2) to determine whether close analysis of census materials can be used to ascertain whether federal liberators were able to abolish the captive-taking trade relative to their official mandate. The authors analyze a core sample of 1860s-era census materials from the City of Santa Fe, New Mexico—which has a documented history of Indian captivity and enslavement—as well as church records to determine whether these materials indicate the continuance of captivity even after federal liberators had the opportunity to abolish the trade.
