Why
bother to have your research published in English and in English-language
academic journals?
English-language academic and scientific research is the
most widely read and the most widely published throughout the world. If you
want to be recognized in your field, you must have your papers translated into
English.
I read dozens of academic research papers across a variety of subjects
– Social Sciences, Arts, Humanities, Film Scholarship, Rhetoric, Social Media, Secularism
versus Islam, Linguistics, Languages, Turcology, Archaeology, Biology, Health
Care, Medicine, Biotechnology, Finance, Business, and so much more. It is
really a shame to see how poor the quality of many of these translations are. So much
of this research – and it is obviously high quality research – reads like a
translation.
A scientific study design consultant and statistician (PhD Johns
Hopkins University, 2007) whom I spoke to recently and who is based in Albany,
NY, USA, said that she is forced to exclude research, no matter how good it is,
every time she learns that it has been translated from another language into
English if she has doubts of any kind about the quality of the English translation.
It jeopardizes the integrity of the research she is attempting to collate.
At
REL Academic Translations, this is our specialty – this is what we do. Our translations
never read like translations, and your painstaking research will never be
excluded from any type of meta-analysis, combination research, or academic journal because the
quality of the translation is poor.
Get your work translated right the first
time. Whether you are a non-native English speaker teaching or doing research at a
university in the U.S. and feel more comfortable writing in your native
language, or you are based outside the U.S., we can help you get your work translated
into perfect English that does not read like a translation. Visit our website
at www.reltranslations.com. Thank
you!
