Abstract

In a world increasingly interconnected through globalization, the need for effective communication across linguistic boundaries has never been more critical. While English has emerged as the dominant language of science and academia, this trend raises significant concerns regarding equity, accessibility, and cultural representation. Esperanto, a constructed international auxiliary language, offers a compelling alternative. This article aims to explore the advantages of using Esperanto in scientific communication, addressing common misconceptions and highlighting its potential to create a more equitable landscape for researchers worldwide.
