Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Publishing in English-medium journals has become an expectation in academia for native and non-native writers; however, a number of multilingual scholars remain committed to the dissemination of knowledge in additional languages. This study, a longitudinal case study, examined the trajectory of one multilingual academic, Caroline, who after succeeding in English for research publication purposes attempted to publish in French, her mother tongue. Drawing on interview data, journal reflections, and multiple drafts of a research article, we found Caroline’s commitment to the development of advanced mother-tongue academic literacy to be mediated by personal and professional factors as well as her access to various literacy brokers. Findings also expose the challenges Caroline faced in reading French-medium publications and in writing in her mother tongue.  Highlighted in the discussion of findings are the coping strategies employed in this first and ultimately successful mother-tongue publication attempt, strategies that others may find supportive of their own similar efforts.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
