Bringing together multiple genre traditions, this timely book offers critical insights into how online platforms influence how science is communicated to a range of audiences, affords multimodal expressions, and can be more engaging through multilingual genre-ing activities. Expansive, generative, and smart, this is an important contribution to genre studies. Science communicators, too, will benefit from the detailed and thoughtful analyses in this essential book. * Ashley Rose Mehlenbacher, University of Waterloo, Canada * Finally a definitive guide to academic genres online! Covering an impressive range of digital practices, this insightful and inspiring book masterfully demonstrates the connection between the affordances of digital media and the exigences of scientific communication. * Christoph A. Hafner, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong * This highly readable and constantly stimulating book makes a landmark contribution to our understanding of the profound changes taking place in scholarly communication practices in the digital era. The excellent balance between critical syntheses of current research and original case-studies of specific digital genres makes it essential reading for all scholars and students of digital genres and academic communication. * Elizabeth Rowley-Jolivet, University of Orleans, France * One of Luzon and PerezLlantada's most valuable contributions to the conversation on digital research genres is their systematic integration of the global, multilingual perspective in every dimension of their ambitious analysis [...] I suspect their work will inspire researchers of academic writing and scholarly genres for years to come. Likewise, teachers and practitioners of academic writing will find Luzon and Perez-Llantada's work useful for attending to a wider range of scholarly genres and communication practices and for better understanding our research ecosystem as a whole. * Gwendolynne Reid, Oxford College of Emory University, USA, ESP Today, Vol. 11(2) (2023) *More details
