English as their native tongue are compelled to write their work in English which, by chance, happens to be the de facto, universal language of science. As a result, it compelled me to address many of the aspects of scientific writing from the viewpoint of non-native English speaking authors and to emphasise that they are not as disadvantaged as they perhaps may think. The language of science which conveys logic and reasoning, is independent of the language in which it happens to be expressed.
