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

#languagebarriers
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).

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:
doi.org/10.1371/jour...
2/5
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).

Systemic bias still affects how exams are designed and delivered.
Rogo’s Ethnic Minority Report explores the impact of cultural and language barriers - and how digital tools can help.

Good point - many journals (33% based on our study) allow authors to publish alternative language abstract/main text (royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...) and half of evidence users think that non-English-language titles and abstracts would help (doi.org/10.1038/s418...).
