“…Global trends towards the Anglicization of scholarly communication mean that English is now the dominant language for the international dissemination of research outputs (Steger 2003;Cargill & O'Connor 2006). Although there has been an explosion in the number of Chinese researchers publishing their work in SCI indexed journals, the proportion of Chinese researchers able to speak or publish in English remains small.…”

Networked digital technologies and Open Access (OA) are transforming the processes and institutions of research, knowledge creation and disemination globally: enabling new forms of collaboration; allowing researchers to be seen and heard in new ways; and reshaping relationships between stakeholders across the global academic publishing system. This paper draws on Joseph Nye's concept of 'Soft Power' to explore the role that OA is playing in helping to reshape academic publishing in China. It focusses on two important areas of OA development: OA journals and national level repositories. OA is being supported at the highest levels and there is potential for it to play an important role in increasing the status and impact of Chinese scholarship. Investments in OA also have the potential to help China to re-position itself within international copyright discourses: moving beyond criticism for failure to enforce the rights of foreign copyright owners and progressing an agenda that places greater emphasis on equality of access to the resources needed to foster innovation. However, the potential for OA to help China to build and project its soft power is being limiteded by the legacies of the print era, as well as the challenges of efficiently governing the national research and innovation systems.

“…In this sense, it can be suggested that access is only likely to occur when there is a desire to access. On the other hand, potential accessibility of subject specialists and language specialists to each other in Chinese universities might, in fact, be a reminder of the existence of opportunities for collaboration between the two parties in EAP teaching and research, with such collaborations having long been advocated in the literature (e.g., [23,24]). …”

Abstract:In this paper I discuss some constraints and implications in accessing fellow academics as research participants, a topic that has rarely been addressed thus far in the literature. I will point out that a lack of cooperation from fellow academics may defeat our research purposes, and will survey some studies involving U.S., European, and Chinese academics as research participants to illustrate education researchers' efforts to work with fellow academics against the odds. By referencing my personal experience of engaging with Chinese academics, I will then discuss the role of personal contacts in research and reflect upon various constraints in accessing fellow academics as research participants. I will suggest that, when we do participate in a fellow researcher's project, the incentive is a desire to support our peers in the spirit of "academic citizenship."

“…Apart from promoting editorial services, in shaping scientists' research articles for publication, an obvious solution seems to be the teaming-up of science specialists and language professionals, a longstanding arrangement in EAP/ESP research and practice. In terms of assisting EFL scientists for publication, we see a few recent and exciting fruitful partnerships between language professionals and scientists (1,13). Language professionals can identify patterns of difficulties for NNS authors.…”

Collaboration of Translators with Medical Authors: A Qualitative Enquiry into Writing Articles in English

The interaction between non-English authors of medical articles and translators can be considered as a key component in perfect rendering of the content. In the era of rapid spread of research findings throughout the world, some researchers with little knowledge of English look for translation and editing services in order to share their findings in the global dialogue of science production. This paper will closely investigate the protocol analysis of an interview with a medical researcher and an intimate translator who has helped him for almost 10 years in translating his articles and research reports into English. The analysis will be classified in two major areas: language and publishing. Further details will be presented in the conference session.
