A new preprint examines 87M publications and 1.5B citations (1990–2023) via #OpenAlex & #Dimensions. While English still dominates (>85% in 2023), publication shares in Indonesian, Portuguese, and Spanish are growing 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2504.21100 #bibliometrics #multilingualism #languageequity
Carolina Pradier, Lucía Céspedes, Vincent Larivière A smack of all neighbouring languages: How multilingual is scholarly communication? Language is a major source of systemic inequities in science, particularly among scholars whose first language is not English. Studies have examined scientists' linguistic practices in specific contexts; few, however, have provided a global analysis of multilingualism in science. Using two major bibliometric databases (OpenAlex and Dimensions), we provide a large-scale analysis of linguistic diversity in science, considering both the language of publications (N=87,577,942) and of cited references (N=1,480,570,087). For the 1990-2023 period, we find that only Indonesian, Portuguese and Spanish have expanded at a faster pace than English. Country-level analyses show that this trend is due to the growing strength of the Latin American and Indonesian academic circuits. Our results also confirm the own-language preference phenomenon (particularly for languages other than English), the strong connection between multilingualism and bibliodiversity, and that social sciences and humanities are the least English-dominated fields. Our findings suggest that 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. https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2504.21100

Language access should be for all SFUSD students, Pre-K to 12—Mandarin, African, all languages. Concerned Dragon Gate won't be truly diverse but will use public space. Public schools must serve everyone. #SFUSD #LanguageEquity #NoToExclusiveCharters

Language immersion is vital—but charter schools aren't the solution. Over 50% of closed charters cite low enrollment. SFUSD should expand its own programs citywide, not outsource them.#InvestInPublicSchools #LanguageEquity #NoToNewCharters

Preserve the language, preserve the culture. The story of Cantonese in the Bay Area asks:

Can this heritage language survive the next generation?

“Cantonese is not only a language, but also a history… If Cantonese is lost, the culture is lost.”

It’s the language of S.F.’s first Chinese immigrants. Can it survive another generation?
As Mandarin becomes increasingly favored both in China and the Bay Area, Cantonese defenders are grappling with threats to the language.
