Discussion

Muriel Vasconcellos Feb 2, 2021:
@ Neil While your point is correct, it's also true that 'citing an affiliation' is used in regular discourse. I have "cited" some examples in my answer.
Neil Ashby Feb 2, 2021:
For example, an article from Nature includes author information near the end:
Author information
Affiliations
Department of Chemistry, Islamic Azad University, Arak Branch, Arak, Iran
Roozbeh Soltani

Institute of Research and Development, Duy Tan University, Da Nang, 550000, Vietnam
Rasool Pelalak, Mahboubeh Pishnamazi & Saeed Shirazian

Faculty of Environmental and Chemical Engineering, Duy Tan University, Da Nang, 550000, Vietnam
Rasool Pelalak & Saeed Shirazian

Faculty of Pharmacy, Duy Tan University, Da Nang, 550000, Vietnam
Mahboubeh Pishnamazi

Department for Management of Science and Technology Development, Ton Duc Thang University, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Azam Marjani
etc.

This is just a list stating/mentioning their affiliations, nobody is citing or referencing these authors or their affiliations.
Neil Ashby Feb 2, 2021:
In the world of scientific literature, and more specifically a literature review, you don't cite or reference an author and less so their affiliation to an institute. You cite or reference an article.
The source text is just saying that it reviewed 2,656 articles and among the lists of authors in each of those articles there were 126 authors who stated/mentioned they were attached/affiliated to a LatAm institute.

that cite affiliations OR: affiliated with

I really don't think you need to translate the phrase literally. In semantic terms, it seems to me to be more like a filler than an idea that needs to be captured. In other words, if the authors are going to cite an affiliation, wouldn't they already be affiliated?

Peer comment(s):

agree Neil Ashby : I agree with the direct approach "affliated with", but not cite. It just means that one or more of the authors are from a LatAm institute, but they are neither referenced nor cited, just listed as authors. "4.74% include an author from a LatAm uni..."

I tend to agree with you, Neil. My original thought was to omit it, but Tom, below, makes the case for a distinction.
agree Thomas Walker : I think there is a sublte distinction here, between 1. an author is (known to be) affiliated with a Latin American institution; & 2. an author mentions/cites an affiliation with a Latin American institution. We only have the author's claim to go by.

Thank you Tom. As I mentioned to Neil above, I was just going to offer the shorter answer and then I thought about these considerations.

included or listed at least one author with an affiliation to a LatAm institute

I'd use "listed" or "included" - that's what research papers do, they list the authors involved in the work and/or writing the article.
"mentioned" also works.

The article below on authorship conventions in the American Association for the Advancement of Science mentions "listed" in this context several times.

"Pardis Sabeti published her first scientific paper when she was an undergraduate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her name had appeared in acknowledgment sections before, but that was the first time she was listed as an author—and she was first on the author list. It was an important milestone in the development of her scientific career.

These days, as assistant professor in genomics and systems biology at Harvard University, she usually is listed last on papers that come out of her lab.

Niels Holten-Andersen, now a postdoc at the University of Chicago, listed second.
Herbert Waite, head of a lab in the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, listed fourth.
