Update. The good, the bad, and the ugly about non-native English speakers using #AI to help with their English-language publications: "The good, reducing linguistic inequalities by improving paper quality and decreasing language-related challenges; the bad, involving inaccurate or misleading AI suggestions, over-reliance on AI tools, and diminished engagement with manuscripts; and the ugly, characterized by failure to disclose AI use, lack of clear guidelines for responsible AI integration in research, homogenization of academic writing, and the emergence of new forms of inequality."

Update. "By analyzing 2,209,987 multilingual publications from 183,457 projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of #China, we reveal a strong preference for English as the publication language in China, with 66.2% of publications in English versus 33.8% in Chinese…We find only a minor overlap between English and Chinese-language publications…[highlighting] the risk of underestimating China’s scientific output by only counting English-language publications"

Update. #LAReferencia just launched an experimental, semantic, multilingual search engine for a subset of its research.
https://la-referencia-ioi.github.io/lareferencia-semantic-demo/"Semantic Search retrieves nearby meanings within a shared multilingual space, even when the query and the record use different languages or phrasing."

Update. Adhari AlZaabi's thoughtful reflection on ways for non-native speakers of English to benefit from #AI to help compose English-language research articles while minimizing the risks of distortion and loss of agency.
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/article-abstract/2848649
(#paywalled)"Uncritical AI use risks amplifying fluency at the expense of accuracy. In contrast, if AI is constrained to the role of translator, auditor, or compliance tool, it can instead reduce inequitable cognitive burden without compromising scientific judgment."

Update. "Many [non-native writers of English] cannot confidently judge whether their original expression is better than the AI's suggestion. Some do not even suspect that their original phrasing might carry nuance worth preserving…Thus, AI does not affect all writers equally. Native speakers tend to use AI to clarify their writing while preserving their voice. Non-native speakers often use AI in a fundamentally different way: their voice is replaced by a standardized, fluent, but impersonal tone. In many cases, they do not even notice that this has happened. This difference is unfair, yet largely invisible."

Update. For scholars with English as a second language, "#AI tools are described…not as shortcuts, but as equalizers. They reduce time-to-submission, lower financial burdens, and allow researchers to focus on ideas rather than articulation. For early-career scholars and those in resource-limited institutions, AI-based language assistance often replaces services that were previously inaccessible or prohibitively expensive. Yet they are not sure if the way they are using AI is permissible."

Update. #AI tools are mostly trained on #English language literature and reflect the cultural assumptions of that literature. When they deliver their results in another language, the translation masks the "epistemological persistence" of those assumptions.

"For the 1990–2023 period, we find that only Indonesian, Portuguese, and Spanish have expanded at a faster pace than English [in academic publishing]… Social sciences and humanities are the least English-dominated fields… Policies recognizing the value of both national-language and English-language publications have had a concrete impact on the distribution of languages in the global field of scholarly communication."

Update. It's rare to see a journal editorial call for #MultilingualResearch. Here's one from _Applied and Environmental Microbiology_, published by the American Society of Microbiology.
https://doi.org/10.1128/aem.02229-25Language barriers "do more than prevent access to opportunities. They cement unfair assumptions about scientific competence and preferentially amplify voices that are proficient, or perceived to be proficient, in the dominant language, shaping scientific discourse in narrow and exclusive ways. This editorial explores how linguistic bias sustains professional hierarchies and restricts scientific progress. It also highlights our journal’s initiatives to overcome language-based barriers in publishing and foster equitable participation in scientific exchange."
