petersuberUpdate. "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…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." <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.21100" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.21100</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Multilingualism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Multilingualism</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/MultilingualResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MultilingualResearch</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ScholComm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScholComm</a>
