What is an #altcite, you ask? Altcites are alternative citations, the other voices, the non-canonical ideas. Altcites are anti-zeitgeist, off-trend but on-point, heterodox not orthodox. altcite will be launching at the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) from Tuesday August 28th 2018. #RGSIBG18 Join us!

Happy preconferencing everyone at #RGSIBG18! If you are headed to an event for the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) conference today, we're trying out our project #altcite - giving space to citations other than those in front of you - under-cited, new perspectives, new (and renewed) ways of thinking.

How do you #altcite? It's not exact, but something like: 1. Attend conference or event 2. Engage with some great ideas 3. Think of perspectives or voices you'd also like to see cited in the session 4. Tweet the details with the #altcite hashtag altcite 5. We'll add to the list!

If you'd like to share #altcite at the #RGSIBG18, look for our little stickers that will be doing the rounds - wear them, stick them in clear view, or save for another conference! Show your love for altcite + share your alternative citations during sessions with #altcite.

Thank you everyone for your support and questions so far - we only launched yesterday and already the response has been amazing! Please remember to #altcite in your sessions tomorrow at #RGSIBG18

Ready for #RGSIBG18 ? Once you've registered with Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) look around for #altcite - you'll find us on Twitter, on stickers, and on mini cards around the place until Friday. When you're in a session and you think of an #altcite remember to use the hashtag and tweet altcite

Ready for day 2! Keep up with the #altcite tag, and check out the website to see where our cites are up to: altcite.wixsite.com/home If you're at a research group AGM today, don't forget to mention altcite (and show off your cards and stickers if you have them!) #RGSIBG18 #RGS18

Final day of #RGSIBG18 and our trial run of #altcite is nearly over! Keep the cites coming, and head to "Capturing the landscape of the conference" for Session 4 (16:50 - 18:30) in the Main Building Large Shandon Lecture Theatre to see a run down of how it has all worked out.

Thanks to everyone who supported #altcite at the #RGSIBG18 We're now going to take some time to put the list of references together, and reflect on where to go next. Meanwhile, do keep #altcite - ing! If you would like to use altcite for your event, please get in touch via DM...

An #altcite in situ?

Agnieszka Leszczynski Legacy Russell #platformurbanism thread

Seems appropriate for #altcite

Need some refs on smart cities? And of course, Agnieszka Leszczynski too.

And we’d add Hope Nicholson and Cherie Dimaline, and the wonderful anthology, Walking In The Clouds edited by Grace Dillon to that list :-)

Another #altcite on #algorithmicwar. It isn’t just in academia that good research Is routinely overlooked or miscredited.The Guardian and other news media could consider wider citational practices too.

Thanks #Afrifem's for sharing your reading lists! "Cite #African Feminists"by Awino Okech medium.com/@awino.okech/r… "Reading #Feminism" by Zahrah Nesbitt-Ahmed republic.com.ng/library/readin… "Digging in the African feminist bibliographic #archives" by J medium.com/@stillsherises…

Tired of the all-male panels and articles on the #Balkans without female voices, I'm trying to make the excuses harder by creating a #WomenAlsoKnowBalkans list of brilliant female researchers & practitioners working in/on the Balkans: x.com/EBStavrevska/l…. Who else to add?

If you're at the #aag2019 #aagdc you might find #altcite useful. We launched @rgsibg 2018 to keep track of citations that were absent and overlooked. During a session just tweet altcite with suggested missing citations. If you can help monitor the account this week, please DM.

Exactly - and then tweet those references altcite #altcite
