¿Does ResearchGate assume that English is the only relevant language for academic communication?

Dear Dr. Landa,

We understand that scientific communication in languages other than English is a very important and necessary part of the scientific process. At the moment, however, we are only able to provide support for English-language content.

Thank you for your continued interest in the ResearchGate platform.

Kind Regards,
ResearchGate User Care

Dear ResearchGate    User Care:

This is very unfortunate. I understand you may not feel it convenient at this moment to support other languages, but an international platform should at least ALLOW the use of a handful of major languages, say English, French, Chinese, German, Japanese, Spanish and Arabic. As you may know, Spanish is the most internationally widespread language in terms of native users. And it is second to English in the United States as a native language. I earnestly hope that ResearchGate's understanding of the reality of multilingualism may soon extend to, at least, tolerating the existence of major international languages other than English, short of actively encouraging their use.

Sincerely,

Jose Angel Garcia Landa

Me he dejado el ruso y el hindi. Pero claro, ¿qué les vamos a decir a los americanos, si aquí en España la CNEAI (organismo oficial) me ha denegado un sexenio con el argumento, entre otros, de que había hecho una publicación en español?
