We’d like to start with a quick story — a story about two scientists who ignored their parents’ warnings about talking to strangers on the internet and, as a result, ended up writing grants, organizing professional development workshops, and — eventually — working together on this Letters to Young Scientists column. Neil and Jay “met” on Twitter when Neil was a graduate student and Jay was a faculty member.

Globally, more than two-thirds of researchers find it difficult to prepare manuscripts and to respond to peer-review comments, finds a survey of nearly 7,000 researchers from over 100 countries.
The issues may stem largely from language barriers, the report suggests (see ‘English-language barrier’).
