What We Focus on When Translating Research

• Meaning and argumentation: preserving the relationships between your research questions, methods, evidence and conclusions.
• Academic style: using clear, formal language appropriate to the discipline and intended audience.
• Consistent terminology: following approved glossaries, reference materials and terminology used in your previous publications.
• Document structure: carefully handling headings, numbering, tables, captions and cross-references.
• Scientific notation: paying attention to formulas, symbols, units and numerical data without changing the underlying research.
• Submission requirements: reviewing any journal or university guidelines you provide and agreeing on the formatting work included in the project.
• Confidentiality: agreeing on confidentiality requirements and any need for an NDA before sensitive materials are shared.

Preparing Your Manuscript for Translation

Please provide an editable document where possible, together with any glossaries, style guides and relevant reference publications. If your manuscript contains equations, complex tables or text within figures, include the source files where available.

For LaTeX files or other specialist formats, send details of the file structure so we can confirm what processing and formatting work is possible before the project begins.

If you are preparing a journal submission, share the author guidelines and any reviewer comments relevant to the translation. Translation supports clear communication of your research; publication decisions remain with the journal's editors and reviewers.
