The dominance of English as the scientific lingua franca creates a barrier for non-native speakers, potentially hindering their ability to participate fully in scientific discussions and collaborations. This language barrier may lead to unequal access to scientific knowledge and opportunities. As a result, some researchers may face difficulties in communicating their work effectively, which can impact their careers and the advancement of science.
