No. In my opinion, the primary cause of this decline in the social sciences and humanities is the pressure toward so-called internationalization, which is conflated with anglicizing. I could give you examples in the case of France, and even of Quebec. People decide that an article published in English in the United States is surely better than another published in French. On the contrary, I think is more accurate that it's easy to lie when there is no one around to contradict, as the saying goes. For example, I know of studies about Quebec written in English and published in Australia that are incorrect. However, since the papers were written in English and published abroad, they are considered to be better.
