Multilingual training resources by PoP user community

As someone doing research into language diversity I know only too well how the use of English can be a barrier for those with different mother tongues. Hence, I am delighted that members of the PoP community have created training videos in their own languages. The videos below are of varying quality and provided for your convenience only; I do not guarantee 100% accuracy. The listing is by recency, with most recent videos listed at the top. Earlier videos use an older version of the software, but might still be useful for a quick introduction in your language.

Note: there are now so many videos that is becoming too time-consuming to update this list. I will only occasionally include new videos in languages that were not yet covered. For more recent videos, simply search for videos in Youtube with this search string.

Support Publish or Perish

Development of the Publish or Perish software is a volunteering effort that has been ongoing since 2006, regularly adding new features and data sources and expanding use cases and geographical distribution.

To keep Publish or Perish free (gratis) for everyone, your contribution toward the costs of hosting, bandwidth, and software development is appreciated. If you find Publish or Perish useful, then this is your chance to say "thank you" to the developers.

You can support us by buying the Publish or Perish guide or tutorial and/or through a donation. Only one user out of every five thousand contributes (that is, only 0.02% of all users!), so any support is very welcome indeed.
