Summary/Abstract: Native and non-native speakers of English must be able to conduct equally appropriate reading and writing activities in their specialty fields according to the current requirements of the international academic environment. Therefore, this paper aims to present the characteristics of native and non-native scientists as readers and writers with the purpose of identifying differences attributable to linguistic or cultural factors for a better understanding of the challenges that non-native academics are confronted with in their attempt to carry out successful academic activities at international level.
