About
An ERA-curated thematic profile exploring how language influences the visibility, accessibility, and global reach of academic research. Sessions examine barriers faced by non-English research, multilingual scholarly communication, cross-language discovery, and approaches to making valuable research accessible to wider international audiences.
Sessions
One Study, Many Languages, Wider Reach
Communicating research across languages can help scholarly knowledge reach new audiences and communities. This session explores multilingual dissemination, translation considerations, and approaches to expanding research reach while preserving accuracy and context.
Making Local Research Globally Discoverable
Research addressing local challenges can have relevance far beyond its original community, yet it may remain difficult for international audiences to find. This session explores how researchers can improve the visibility, accessibility, and international reach of locally produced knowledge.
Does Research Need to Be in English to Be Visible?
English dominates much of international academic publishing, raising questions about the visibility of research produced in other languages. This session explores the challenges faced by non-English scholarship and how research communities can support more inclusive approaches to global discovery.
Breaking the Language Barrier in Research Discovery
Valuable research is produced in many languages, but language barriers can prevent it from reaching relevant audiences. This session explores the challenges of cross-language research discovery and how researchers and institutions can improve access to knowledge across linguistic boundaries.
