Scientific journals published in the United States characteristically refer only to articles written in English. This is not because there are no interesting scientific developments reported in other languages, but because of a basic linguistic ignorance on the part of scientists in the United States. This ignorance inevitably results in a failure to benefit from scientific progress made outside the United States.
