Language Justice for Open Science

Listen to our conversation about the importance of multilingualism in academia, particularly in scholarly publishing, where Eleonora suggests that publishers should have multilingual editorial teams and platforms that support articles written in multiple languages.

The benefits of promoting non-English language research have great potential in mitigating the challenges faced by multilingual authors. Hence, Eleonora and Jo emphasize the need for greater recognition of non-English language research and the role of funders and institutions in supporting multilingualism. They also mention the importance of preserving indigenous knowledge and regional languages.

All researchers can contribute to multilingualism by providing translations or summaries of their work in other languages. To facilitate that, Access 2 Perspectives offers workshops and webinars on policy research and language justice for Open Science.
