1. English as a Global Language 2003
2. Reliable numbers are hard to come by. Crystal ( 1 ) proposes an estimate of 80% English sites for the World Wide Web during the 1990s dropping steadily possibly to 40% or less by 2005 as all portions of the globe come online. However science is a different matter. Electronic journals in science which have increased greatly since 1998 are predominantly in English. Preprint archives an especially influential and unique offering of Internet science are also in this language. Institutional sites such as those for research organizations universities international programs and so on are also usually in English and where not—a key fact—they often provide a link to an English version of the site.
