abstract: Effective communication sometimes requires a common language. This is particularly true in science, where communication among health professionals and scientists across national boundaries has become critical because of the rapidity with which new knowledge is acquired. In the modern era, where multinationalism in key medical and scientific discoveries is increasingly common, the language is undoubtedly English. In fact, more than three-quarters of scientific papers today are published in English.
