一项纵向“文本-民族志”研究探究了南欧和中欧的50位心理学和教育学者如何应对这种压力。该研究的证据表明，仅凭个人的语言和修辞能力通常不足以确保在英语媒体期刊上发表论文。本文考察了网络的重要性，并追踪了学者如何进入和参与网络。我们呈现了“网络历史”，描绘了四位学者的网络参与，突出了几个核心维度：本地和跨国、正式和非正式、强与弱、持久和暂时。持久的网络对于使学者能够参与跨国网络至关重要，跨国网络支持他们以英语和当地语言出版。研究结果直接有助于我们对全球背景下的学术出版的理解，以及对增加研究合作的倡议（如由欧盟框架计划赞助的倡议）有效性的更广泛辩论。最后，我们简要考虑了支持多语言学者的出版和旨在增加合作的计划的含义(C) 2010爱思唯尔有限公司。版权所有
Multilingual scholars located outside of Anglophone contexts face growing pressure to publish in English Evidence from a longitudinal "text-ethnographic" study exploring how 50 psychology and education scholars in southern and central Europe are responding to such pressure indicates that individual linguistic and rhetorical competence alone are usually insufficient for securing publication in English-medium journals. Rather, scholars' accounts demonstrate that participation in academic research networks functions as a key resource for publishing This article examines the importance of networks and tracks how scholars gain access to and participate in them We present 'network histories' that map out the network participation of four scholars, foregrounding several core dimensions, local and transnational, formal and informal, strong and weak, durable and temporary Our findings suggest that strong, local, durable networks are crucial to enabling scholars' participation in transnational networks, which support their publishing in both English and local languages. Findings contribute directly to our understandings about academic publishing in a global context and to broader debates about the efficacy of initiatives for increasing research collaboration such as those sponsored by the EU Framework Programmes We conclude by briefly considering implications for supporting multilingual scholars' publication and programmes aimed at increasing collaboration (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
