Non-native English speakers struggle more in science research.

Researchers who are non-native English speakers spend more time and money than native speakers in contributing to the global scientific community where the language is prevalent, a group of international scientists said, calling for more inclusivity. Those with low English proficiency who published only one English-language paper devoted a median of 90.8% more time reading scientific papers compared with native speakers, their study showed. Apart from late-career researchers with moderate English proficiency, non-native speakers asked someone to proofread 75% or more of their submitted papers, while native speakers did this for less than half of theirs.
