When is an official translation of scientific articles necessary?
A scientific article is a document that describes the original research and results obtained in a scientific study. They are usually written by researchers and academics in the relevant field and published in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
A typical scientific article includes the following elements:
- Summary: A brief summary that provides an overview of the study.
- Introduction: A section that sets the context of the study and describes the research question.
- Methods: A section describing the methods used in the study, including the study population, study design and data collection procedures.
- Results: This part of the article presents the results of the research, usually in the form of tables and graphs, to make it more visual and allow comparisons to be made.
- Discussion: is a section that interprets the results and relates them to previous knowledge in the field, discusses the limitations of the study and suggests areas for future research.
- References: a list of sources cited in the article.
Scientific articles are an important way of communicating research results to the scientific community and allow other researchers to review and replicate the study. As they are often used internationally, it is common for them to be adapted into other languages by sworn translators or specialised technical translators.
In addition to their dissemination, official translations of such essays or articles are essential if they are to be submitted to an international committee or if they are to be eligible for an award or recognition.
Sworn translations are also useful for achieving collaboration between scientists of different nationalities. If the scientific article is translated into different languages, other scientists can analyse it and work on new theories based on it.
