Analysis of 87,577,942 articles in Dimensions showed an increase in % of non-English-language publications from 6.14% in 1990 to 14.48% in 2023, likely indicating an increase in non-English-language publications (esp Indonesian) and their growing visibility.

The good news:
Gen Z still uses "my bad"
The bad news:
I thought text emojis were back when Ryu sent me a message ending in gng
I thought it was some new version of TnT
So I sent him an OTL
...and he had no clue what that was >.>

Very pleased to see that @natecoevo.nature.com’s editorial introducing the journal’s AI policies builds on our evidence about language barriers faced by non-native English speakers.

In this paper led by Violeta Berdejo-Espinola, we trained machine learning models to identify Spanish-language papers on the effectiveness of conservation actions. The best model missed no relevant articles while excluding > 70% of irrelevant papers.

女性、英語非ネイティブ、そして低所得国の出身者は、科学の世界で不利な立場にありますが、その格差はどれほどでしょうか？本研究では、英語を第一言語としない低所得国出身の女性は、英語での論文発表数が最大70％少ないことが分かりました。1/5

Estimated disadvantages for non-native English speakers when conducting different scientific activities. The height of hurdles indicates the relative length of time taken to read an English-language paper (Reading), to write a paper in English (Writing), and to prepare an oral presentation in English (Presentation), and the relative frequency of an English-language paper being rejected (Paper rejection) or requested to revise (Paper revision) due to English writing, for non-native English speakers (Non-native), compared to native English speakers (Native).
Obviously this does not reflect the true productivity of researchers facing gender, economic and #languagebarriers, as they face tremendous hurdles when conducting various scientific activities, as we previously showed in this paper for non-native English speakers:

Scientific productivity gap based on English-language peer-reviewed papers. Shown are the maximum % differences in the number of peer-reviewed papers published by female native English speakers from a high-income country (-45%), female non-native English speakers from a high-income country (-60%), and female non-native English speakers from a lower-middle income country (-70%), compared to male native English speakers from a high-income country (red flag).
Women, non-native English speakers & those form low-income countries are disadvantaged in science but by how much? We found that women with non-English first languages from low-income countries publish up to 70% fewer in English than their counterparts. 1/5

Scientists may take pride in publishing in prestigious English journals, but it is equally important to consider how these findings can be shared more broadly with their peers and the general population, especially those who do not speak or read English. #languagebarriers
