About this service

Academic translation is a distinctive category because the author\'s voice is an integral part of the document in a way that is not true for regulatory or commercial texts. A research paper submitted to an international journal needs to read as written by a competent author in the target language, not as a translation. The reviewer\'s assessment of the author\'s credibility is partly formed by how the language reads, and a paper that is grammatically correct but stylistically awkward raises questions about the underlying thinking.

We work with academic translators who are themselves active or former researchers in relevant fields. This means they understand the argumentation structures, the citation conventions, and the disciplinary vocabulary of the target journal or conference in the target language. They also understand how to handle technical terminology consistently across a long document like a thesis, where inconsistency becomes particularly visible.

For Italian academic institutions and researchers seeking to publish in international journals, we provide both translation and a final language review by an English-language academic editor with discipline expertise. For international researchers and institutions needing Italian translations for submission to Italian journals or for Italian regulatory or administrative purposes, we work in the reverse direction with the same standard.

Services include journal article translation for international submission, PhD thesis translation, conference abstract and paper translation, grant application and research proposal translation, academic textbook and teaching material translation, and official university documentation.
