After removing irrelevant publications, the dataset was used to study networks of publications, authors, and journals, and identify key publications in this body of literature.

Dear Marco,
This is very interesting and intriguing. Maybe doing similar studies over time might also help us understand how scholarship on the commons in Africa is changing. The IASC could also explore mechanisms of increasing scholarship on African commons. Maybe in association with IJC have a special issue on African Commons.
Thank you very much.
Dear Marco,
Interesting analysis to inform the African commons scholarship.
Everisto great possibility to have a special issue for African Commons on IJC.
I hope this conference makes a little contribution and on the special issue I am sure IJC would welcome such a special issue. Michael Schoon, editor-in-chief of IJC, will be in the webinar on Monday July 27, so this could be a question for him :-).
Great thanks! Will look forward to the webinar
