Non-native English-speaking authors and editors evaluate difficulties and challenges in publishing in international journals

Two questionnaire-based surveys were carried out by an Indian publishing services company for authors of non-English speaking countries. The first was addressed to East Asian authors, the second was addressed to editors of leading international journals, mainly in Europe and the USA, and published entirely in English. The results obtained from the two questionnaires were compared to provide an interesting schema of the key players in the process of scholarly communication.
