Not sure how this quote disproves the previous statement (English speaking bias).

How many people in the academia do not speak English?

Not sure how many.

But I know a significant amount of scientific papers are published in other languages than English, e.g. in Chinese language on Wanfang Data (www.wanfangdata.com - affiliate of Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology). This is probably the case in many other non-English languages.

I haven't a clue, but I suspect a lot.
