    “This study reports on a qualitative approach in which the main aim was to discover and contribute to the analysis of the funds of knowledge mobilized in non-native English speaking (NNES) scientists’ writings in English. In order to do this, ethnographic type methods were used to collect evidence leading to an understanding of the participants operating in the various spaces of their professional lives. The research data sources were collected from a number of qualitative methods such as narrative interviews, elicitation interviews, and observations. Interpretation of the data was based on the theoretical framework consisting of writing and publishing in English by Spanish speaking researchers in mathematics and physics and the galaxy of associated theories in orbit around research writing in an additional language specifically: intertextuality & genre, hybridity, heteroglossia / multivoicedness, Third Space Theory, and the concept of funds of knowledge. This was used and a means for describing how these scientists manage their writing as they move in and out of the various spaces they inhabit as part of their professional lives. In order to deduce the research findings it was important to try to construct as complete a picture as possible of the literacy development in order to better understand their current literacy practices”.
