Publication Bibliography:

This article outlines findings from a case study investigating attitudes toward
English as the dominant language of scientific research writing. Survey and
interview data were collected from 55 Latin American health and life scientists
and 7 North American scientific journal editors connected to an intensive
scholarly writing for publication course. Study findings point to competing
perceptions (scientists vs. editors) of fairness in the adjudication of Latin
American scientists’ research at international scientific journals. Adopting a
critical, plurilingual lens, I argue that these findings demand a space for more
equity-driven pedagogies, policies, and reflective practices aimed at supporting
the robust participation of plurilingual scientists who use English as an
additional language (EAL). In particular, if equity is indeed a shared goal, there
is a clear need for commitment to ongoing critical self-reflection on the part of
scientific journal gatekeepers and research writing support specialists.
