Abstract

In addition to discussing Baldauf and Jenrudd, 1, – ~3, and bringing up concerns of North/South and English/non-English imbalance in research communication, the paper makes the case for more language sensitivity in seitometric research. The method for determining an author's position as a native or non-native speaker of English in monthly literature on textual evidence is then proposed. An evaluation and report are provided for the preliminary application to 623 articles. In Economics, the NNS rate was half that of Health Science, at 23%. There weren't many papers from the Third World in either, which helped to back Baldauf and Jernudd. In light of correcting alleged imbalance, scientometries are proposed as a potential addition to Research English instruction.
