RESULTS
The interviews contain a wide range of data concerning participants” perceptions, problems, and strategies, but one of the most striking subsets of the categories that were coded relates to problems identified by participants in writing for publication, especially in terms of a disadvantage compared with NSs. Although scholars accepted that they needed to publish in English (this view pervades all of the interviews and conforms with the finding of my earlier quantitative study in which 92% of respondents said that the most important language for them to publish in was English), they all felt themselves to be at some disadvantage to NSs. This disadvantage manifested itself in a number of ways, and these categories form the basis for the findings presented in this article." The categories, the individual identities, and total number of participants making comments fitting into each category are shown in Table . This table thus gives an overall picture of the pervasiveness of the various attitudes. Given the openended nature of the interviews, however, this data should be treated with caution. The fact that individual participants are not recorded in a given category does not necessarily mean that they did not share this attitude, although it does indicate that the attitude was not particularly salient for the given individual at that moment in time.
