Título: | The manifold costs of being a non-native English speaker in science |
Autor: | Amano, Tatsuya; Ramírez-Castañeda, Valeria; Berdejo-Espinola, Violeta; Borokini, Israel; Chowdhury, Shawan; Golivets, Marina; González-Trujillo, Juan David CSIC ORCID; Montaño-Centellas, Flavia; Paudel, Kumar; White, Rachel Louise; Veríssimo, Diogo | Fecha de publicación: | 18-jul-2023 | Editor: | Public Library of Science | Citación: | PLoS - Biology 21(7): e3002184 (2023) | Resumen: | The use of English as the common language of science represents a major impediment to maximising the contribution of non-native English speakers to science. Yet few studies have quantified the consequences of language barriers on the career development of researchers who are non-native English speakers. By surveying 908 researchers in environmental sciences, this study estimates and compares the amount of effort required to conduct scientific activities in English between researchers from different countries and, thus, different linguistic and economic backgrounds. Our survey demonstrates that non-native English speakers, especially early in their careers, spend more effort than native English speakers in conducting scientific activities, from reading and writing papers and preparing presentations in English, to disseminating research in multiple languages. Language barriers can also cause them not to attend, or give oral presentations at, international conferences conducted in English. We urge scientific communities to recognise and tackle these disadvantages to release the untapped potential of non-native English speakers in science. This study also proposes potential solutions that can be implemented today by individuals, institutions, journals, funders, and conferences. | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.3002184 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/334248 | DOI: | 10.1371/journal.pbio.3002184 | ISSN: | 1544-9173 | E-ISSN: | 1545-7885 |
