Extended Data Fig. 4: Self-reported English proficiency of the 51 report authors in 35 countries/territories.
From: The role of non-English-language science in informing national biodiversity assessments
The report authors were asked to answer how easy it is for them to read and understand the full text of an English-language peer-reviewed paper on biodiversity conservation, based on five options: ‘Very easy’, ‘Easy’, ‘Neutral’, ‘Difficult’ and ‘Very difficult’. Note that no authors selected ‘Very difficult’, which therefore is excluded from this figure. Orange indicates answers by academics (that is, those who chose ‘Academic institution or university’ in Question 1 of Supplementary Text 1) and blue by all others. Numbers above bars are the percentage of non-academic survey respondents in each category of English proficiency.
