Use the below tools and websites to access publications from across the world. Use the decolonisation approaches you decided on from Step 2 and the keywords that are identified in Step.3. Let’s try to find more diverse and inclusive readings!  

University resources  

Multidisciplinary world searching 

  • Scopus 
  • Google Scholar  
  • Lens.org: Free academic paper catalogue where you can do a regional search for publications. It gives research distribution graphs with date, regions and institutions.  You can filter papers related to a certain topic from specific countries by "Institution Country/ Region".
