Researchers Submitting to English Journals
Scientists, clinicians, and social scientists who have written original research in their native language and need it translated for submission to an English-language international journal.
From Research to Publication in Any Language
Academic journals, particularly those indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, or PubMed, have strict formatting requirements, citation conventions, and editorial standards. A translation that reads well but deviates from those conventions can result in rejection during editorial review.

We assign translators with postgraduate qualifications or professional research backgrounds in the relevant discipline for every academic project.
We translate original research articles, review papers, conference proceedings, grant applications, literature reviews, and academic theses. Source languages include Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and other major research languages. We work to your target journal's author guidelines and citation style.
Conference presentations and editorial board meetings can be supported by expert interpretation services.
Typical Use Cases
Academics Translating International Papers
Researchers who need to present or cite a paper published in a foreign language, or who are compiling a literature review that includes non-English sources.
Universities with Multilingual Research Output
Research institutes and university departments that produce scholarship in multiple languages and need to make their work accessible to the international academic community.
Grant Applicants
Researchers applying to international funding bodies such as the European Research Council or NIH who need grant applications and supporting documentation translated into English.
How Academic Translation Works
Submit Your Manuscript
Upload your paper along with your target journal's author guidelines. Include the citation style you are using (APA, Vancouver, Chicago, etc.) and any specific instructions from the editor.
Subject-Specialist Assignment
Your manuscript is assigned to a translator with expertise in your research discipline, whether that is biomedical science, economics, literature, engineering, or another field.
Translation and Academic Review
The translator prepares a complete English translation following the journal's style requirements. A second reviewer checks terminology consistency, citation formatting, and overall academic register.
Delivery and Author Revisions
You receive the translated manuscript ready for submission. One round of revisions following author review is included as standard.

Academic Journal Translation: Frequently Asked Questions
Which research disciplines do you cover?
We cover the full range of academic disciplines, including biomedical and clinical sciences, life sciences, chemistry, physics, engineering, economics, law, social sciences, history, literature, and linguistics. For highly specialized fields, we confirm translator availability before accepting the project. If you have a very narrow specialism, tell us when requesting a quote.
Can you match the citation and formatting style required by my target journal?
Yes. Please include the journal's author guidelines and your preferred citation style when submitting your manuscript. If the journal requires a specific reference format such as Vancouver, APA, or a house style, our translator will apply it throughout. We can also reformat references from one citation style to another if needed.
Will my translated paper still need editing by a native English speaker before submission?
Our academic translators are native English speakers working into their first language, so the translated text is ready for submission without additional editing. If you would like an additional editorial pass specifically to polish academic writing style and register, we offer a post-translation academic proofreading service at an additional cost.
