Web 2.0 technologies are revolutionizing the landscape of traditional research genres, leading to the emergence of complex genre assemblages online. In response, this book adopts a genre analysis perspective to provide a timely examination of professional and public communication of science. It offers an updated overview of the growing diversification of genres used in scientific research communication, drawing from relevant theories that shed light on the evolution and innovation of genres in the Web 2.0 era. Furthermore, the book conducts a critical inquiry into the dynamics of languages for academic and research communication, addressing issues such as academic Englishes, ELF lectures, translanguaging, polylanguaging, and the multilingualization of science. To enrich the critical reflections, the book incorporates data from small-scale specialized corpora and exploratory survey research. Additionally, it provides pedagogical orientations for teaching/training researchers in the STEMM disciplines and proposes avenues for future research into research genres across languages.
