(Unfortunately) journals do not provide the space in their platforms to share articles in languages other than english. Funding institutions should encourage academia to, at the very least, include translations for the language in which the research is being conducted www.nature.com/articles/d41...
nature.com
Scientists who don’t speak fluent English get little help from journals, study finds
An analysis of hundreds of journals finds limited efforts to accommodate scientists who are not native English speakers.

UK weather data #TidyTuesday Temperature changes over time and some individual temperature extremes highlighted on map 🌡🇬🇧 Code: github.com/borstell/tid... #DataViz ##ggplot2
A line chart showing temperature changes (daily min and max readings) from 22 weather stations across the UK. The line charts include model fit lines showing average temperatures across stations over time (1970 to 2024), showing the estimated average increase at the right margin (about +1.5 degrees Celsius). On the right of the line chart, there is map of the UK showing the location of each weather station. Four of them are marked with annotations showing the highest (Cambridge, 2008) and lowest (Newton Rigg, 2010) monthly means and the hottest January (Yeovilton, 1990) and coldest July (Lerwick, 1993). Data: UK Met Office via TidyTuesday; Packages: {tidyverse, geomtextpath, ggarrow, ggtext, glue, rnaturalearth, scales}; Visualization: C. Börstell.

There was lots of data to play with for #TidyTuesday this week where we're looking at the power of different passports! ✈️ I decided to try out the idea of using small multiples and highlighting to untangle a spaghetti chart with lots of lines 📊 #RStats #DataViz #ggplot2
Chart showing how rankings of passports have changed over time, split by region with top one in each highlighted. European are ranked high, and UAE has had a dramatic rise.
