# Is it acceptable to use non-English references in a paper? Tags: citations, journals - Score: 3 - Views: 1498 - Answers: 1 - Answered: yes - Asked by: Mahsa Tmri (79 rep) - Asked: 2023-01-12 - Site: academia - Closed: closed ## Question I have a paper extracted from my thesis. Since English is not my first language, a few of references are non-English. I have also designed a model based on those non-English references. Now, I want to send it to foreign journals and I think it will be rejected. Is it necessary to use just English references in my paper? ## Answers ### Answer by Bryan Krause (score: 10) You must use non-English references if you use non-English sources. Citing sources is about giving credit where it is due for the ideas you use in your paper: it doesn't matter what language those ideas came in. Some journals may request parts of the citation to be translated (such as the title), but it's most important that readers can find the original source.

The overall idea is sound, but as the logistics structures are in some sense a basis of the paper, I have a strong inclination to reject the manuscript as the research cannot be followed and reconstructed by a researcher that does not understand German. On top of that, virtually none of them are available online, or otherwise easily accessible. I was going to hit the "Reject" button just a few moments ago, but I still have my doubts: I know that in humanities and also in mathematics people often cite publications written in other languages, but I have not yet seen something like that in computer science. Also, if it were one or two references, but 60%? The journal r
