That English is the lingua franca of today's science is an indisputable fact. Publication in English in international journals is a pre-requisite for a research paper to gain visibility in academia. However, English proficiency appears to be taken for granted in the scientific community, though this language can be a hurdle for a number of authors, particularly from non-native English-speaking countries. The influence of English proficiency on the publication output of Brazilian authors has never been assessed. We report our preliminary data on the relationship between the English proficiency of 51,223 researchers registered in the CNPq database and their publication output in international journals. We have found that publication rates are higher for those authors with good command of English, particularly written English. Although our research is still underway and our results are preliminary, they suggest that the correlation between written English proficiency and research productivity should not be underestimated. We also present the comments of some Brazilian scientists with high publication records on the relevance of communication skills to the scientific enterprise.

:英语是当今科学的通用语,这是不争的事实。在国际期刊上以英语发表是研究论文在学术界获得知名度的前提。但是,英语水平似乎在科学界是理所当然的,尽管这种语言可能会阻碍许多作者,尤其是来自非英语国家的作者。从未评估过英语水平对巴西作者的出版物输出的影响。我们报告了有关CNPq数据库中注册的51,223名研究人员的英语水平与他们在国际期刊上的出版物输出之间的关系的初步数据。我们发现,英语水平特别是书面英语水平较高的那些作者的出版率更高。尽管我们的研究仍在进行中,并且我们的结果只是初步的,但他们认为,英语笔试水平和研究效率之间的相关性不应低估。我们还介绍了一些发表率很高的巴西科学家对交流技巧与科学事业的相关性的评论。
