Episode 3 - Why you don’t need to be a native English speaker to get published in academic journals

This episode is for all you non-native English speakers (those who have English as their second, third, fourth… language) who struggle with writing papers in English. You may have massive imposter syndrome (that maybe has been fueled by feedback you’ve gotten from reviewers) and you don’t feel confident writing at all.

This episode is also for you native English speakers (who have English as their first language). You too might be struggling with writing papers even though you speak English in your daily life, have gone through school, college, university in English. You feel like writing papers should be fast for you but instead it takes you a long time to organise your thoughts and your data into something coherent. In the end, you might not be happy with what you produce and you may end up getting rejected more often than not.

Whether English is your first or second language, in this episode, I want to invite you to shift your writing mindset. The writing struggles you are experiencing may not have all that much to do with your English language proficiency. Which means: You might be trying to solve the entirely wrong writing problem.

(01:20) Are you a non-native English speaker?
(05:10) My hot take about writing papers as a non-native English speaker (or native English speaker!)
(07:25) 3 writing skills I find more important than being a native English speaker
(09:16) Learning how to efficiently and effectively structure your paper
(12:35) Listener question: How can I write during times of teaching and admin load?
