With AJE's scientific translation service, you can save time and money by writing your paper in your native language and letting our team of professional scientific and technical translators transform your manuscript into publication-quality English. Our translators are active members of the academic community, have extensive experience with the research and writing conventions of their fields in both languages, and are published authors.
We offer two levels of translation to fit your needs and research budget. If you choose our Premium Translation service, your paper will be sent to a translator who is a specialist in your field, a managing translator, a subject-expert editor, a senior editor, and a managing editor. Because our translators and editors are all experts in your area of study, they accurately translate terms specific to your field. When your paper is returned to you, it will be indistinguishable from papers written by native English speakers.
With our Standard Translation service, your paper will go to one translator, a managing translator, a subject-expert English editor, and a managing editor. Standard translation is designed for authors who don't have the time to translate their own papers but are proficient in English such that they feel comfortable verifying their translators' interpretations themselves.
You can add our formatting service to your order, and we will ensure that your translated paper meets your journal's guidelines for submission.
We currently translate the following languages into English:
- Chinese
- Portuguese
- French
- Spanish
- Japanese
- Korean
- Turkish

FAQs
Translation
-
Unlike traditional translation companies, we use translators who are working researchers in your area of study. This ensures that they know the jargon of your field in both English and your native language, guaranteeing the most accurate translation possible. Our translation service also includes English-language editing, so your final paper will be completely polished and ready for publication.
-
If you choose Standard translation, every effort will be made to preserve the linguistic structure of your original document. In addition, your paper will receive our Standard editing service after we translate it into English. That means four people will review your file: a translator who works in your area of study, a managing translator who will perform a quality review, an English-language editor in your area of study, and a managing editor.
Premium translation involves more restructuring of your words within a sentence during the translation process to produce document that reads as though a native English speaker wrote it. Premium translation also includes our Premium editing service, which focuses on improving the style and flow of your paper, resulting in a more polished final product. Your paper will be reviewed by five people: a two-person translation team, and three editors.

e-mail us directly for more details.
-
Depending on the availability of qualified translators, we can sometimes accommodate requests for translation for languages other than the ones listed on our site. Please
contact us for special translation requests.
-
Publication is a subjective process, so we are not able to guarantee that you will be published after you use our services. We do guarantee that we will re-edit your paper for free if it is rejected by a journal for reasons of English language alone.
-
Please
e-mail us the same draft of your paper that you submitted to your journal along with all of your reviewers’ comments. We will review your files immediately and contact you with additional advice.
-
AJE will provide a certificate confirming that your paper was edited by a native English speaker at AJE and, assuming all of the changes we proposed are incorporated into the manuscript, is ready for journal submission. It will allow journal editors to feel confident that the English language in your paper has been reviewed and verified. This certificate is limited to documents that are deemed the highest quality AJE submissions (documents that require only one round of language editing from AJE before they are publication ready). Not every paper will earn a certificate but every paper will have the opportunity. Visit our
Certificate Program page to learn more.

When you choose premium paper editing, your manuscript will be sent to two subject-expert editors as well as a managing editor. After the first editor corrects your spelling and grammar, the second editor will make changes and suggestions to enhance your paper's flow and writing style. The managing editor will then make a final round of recommendations and language polishing before returning your manuscript to you.
Length of files to edit
We do not edit numeric tables or references, so they are not included in the word count when calculating the price.
Preferred timeline
Weekends are included in our deadlines, so if you submit your paper on a Thursday with a four-day deadline it will be ready for you by the following Monday. AJE is closed for holidays five days a year and deadlines are delayed on those days. You will see an announcement in your AJE account if there are any upcoming holiday delays.
