In this episode, I feature a paper by Ramirez-Castaneda who raises awareness on the unintended consequences of the English dominance in science on non-English speaking scientists. As one of the goals for modern society is to increase scientific production from Africa, Latin America, Middle East, and developing Asia, the author calls attention to the need to increase strategies for multilingualism in scientific journals.
