Does anyone know any Internationally reputed Research Journal, that publishes 'Research Papers' in multiple languages together? I have a high-quality, ready-to-publish paper (presented at a national-level conference) in Maithili language (in Devnagri script) that highlights the importance of indigenous Indian Crafts to solve pollution issues in India; and am interested in publishing it as soon as possible. Kindly let me know.
Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, which promotes research on language and cultural diversity.
Thanking you, Imam. I already went through the website of this journal (https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rmmm20/current), on 30.11.2023. But as I understood, this journal is addressing research issues related to various languages, but finally they publish it's articulations in ENGLISH (in Roman Script) only. I am unable to see any published research paper here, in any other language(s).
So, I don't think they will accept my research paper - as it is written in Maithili Language (in Devnagri Script).

Dear Santosh, from personal experience, I can tell that generally speaking, multilingual publication is readily available in book formats but not really as scientific journals publication.
Although there are formal journals that publish in various languages, the international standard has been English since the 1950's.
My own solution to this problem, since I wanted my publications to be available in 4 languages, was to have one formal publication in English, so formal publication status is established, and provide the translations to the other 3 languages on sites such as ResearchGate, with links allowing people to switch between the various languages.
Here is an example from my last published article:

I can then refer people to the whole set and they choose the language that they prefer, and they can confirm conformity with the formally published English version as required.
Hope this helps.
Dear Andre,
Thanking you for suggesting to publish an original article into multiple languages through ResearchGate. I believe this could be convincing pathway.
But I can see atleast two limitations here:
(1.) RG is not issuing ISSN. So, one cannot claim any such professional benefit(s), which requires ‘Research paper with ISSN’.
(2.) Reproducing same literature in different languages could invite “Self Plagiarism“ related consequences.
What do you think?!?

Dr. Santosh
