For the fifteen core chapters, co-editors Pejman Habibie, of Western University (Canada), and Sally Burgess, of the University of La Laguna (Spain), bring together a culturally and geographically diverse range of contributors, all of whom self-identify as early-career scholars in applied linguistics or an allied field. English has cemented itself as the scholarly lingua franca, and chapters in this volume attest to the resultant "linguistic injustice in academic publication", to use the words of contributor Ismaeil Fazel of Simon Fraser University (Canada) (196). A question that frequently surfaces across chapters is whether scholars whose native languages are not English face compounded disadvantages when writing for publication in English.
