OverviewThis book reports on the state of academic journal publishing in a range of geolinguistic contexts, including locations where pressures to publish in English have developed more recently than in other parts of the world (e.g. Kazakhstan, Colombia), in addition to contexts that have not been previously explored or well-documented. The three sections push the boundaries of existing research on global publishing, which has mainly focused on how scholars respond to pressures to publish in English, by highlighting research on evaluation policies, journals’ responses in non-Anglophone contexts to pressures for English-medium publishing, and pedagogies for supporting scholars in their publishing efforts.

The issues related to the dominance of English as the language of knowledge production is dealt with directly...Curry and Lillis make it clear that there is a conspiracy of factors that have led to this situation and they point how it is being addressed in positive ways. This book should be recommended reading for professors who teach in a graduate program and for their students. -- Frank Nuessel, University of Louisville, USA * Language Problems and Language Planning 42:2 * I recommend this book for anyone who is interested in understanding the contemporary world of academic publishing, whether as a writer who is seeking to disseminate knowledge, or as a research educator supporting novice scholars as they navigate the complexities of publication. The pressure to publish high-level research in English is not likely to disappear soon, but it is books like this that push us to recognise the power relations at play in global knowledge production.
