Two futures for academic publishing using artificial intelligence language tools. Information communicated in English is shown in pale blue and that in a language other than English (Japanese in this example) is shown in orange.
Can we imagine a future in which everyone can use their own language to write, assess & read science with the help of AI? Read this to see why we believe this is the future of academic publishing. Great collab with @bowkerl.bsky.social & Andrew Burton-Jones. #languagebarriers
