ES CIENCIA. An Interdisciplinary Platform on Spanish in Science for Boosting Multilingualism

ES CIENCIA is a research platform created by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in 2019 to work on Spanish as a language of scientific communication. It develops interdisciplinary research projects in inter-institutional and international collaboration, both with Latin America and Europe. ES CIENCIA involves researchers and technical specialists in Academic Publishing, Terminology, Information& Library Science, Computational Linguistics, Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing and Translation.
The apparent oxymoron in the title is intended to draw attention to the fact that work on a particular language in science, and in the context of open science, contributes to the development of a multilingual scientific communication system. In fact, the platform is based on the values of multilingualism in science. ES CIENCIA has promoted the adhesion of the CSIC to the Helsinki Initiative on multilingualism in science communication, the participation of Spain in OPERAS, and has participated in the document on scientific publications read to the Ibero-American Ministers of Science, Technology and Innovation (2022) to highlight the value of the languages of the region in the transfer of research results to society.
This poster will show the different levels at which ES CIENCIA works, the disciplines involved, the transfer of results and the interaction with institutions working in science, language and book policies. The main research projects will also be presented: TeresIA. Artificial and natural intelligence-based project on terminology in Spanish, Cartography of the IberoAmerican academic book publishing, Scholarly Publishers Indicators. Information and indicators about book publishing, Academic book publishing in Spain: Digital transformation, Open access books in Spain (within the OPERAS project PALOMERA.Policy Alignment of Open Access Monographs in the European Research Area), Name Entity Recognition in academic books in Spanish.
