Title change[edit]

@Jnyssen: I renamed it to a broader title since there are so many competiting metaphors being used -- for international english it doesn't make sense to use one of these very specific terms that only makes sense for certain fields. Let me know if that is helpful, Sadads (talk) 10:46, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

One sided, politized polemic[edit]

This article presents the issues raised entirely from one perspective, using highly pejorative language. There is nothing here to suggest that local scientists or academics are being prevented from conducting their own work. Rather that no one locally has done the studies until someone has come from elsewhere. The idea that Europeans are somehow stealing the funding in the example given, when the money is essentially actually coming from European taxpayers. The other example seemingly suggests that the Indonesian people are being exploited for western gain, when in fact the results of the study are published for the knowledge of all and everyone, wherever they are. If the participants are not directly benefiting, then this is no different from participants in a western medical trial for example.

Although the article may present a viewpoint held in some circles, it really needs to be much more balanced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.144.23.252 (talk) 02:10, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
