Academic & Scientific English
Academic editing and proofreading services
Academic English editing services are a necessity for ESL (English Second Language) students and academics. This is because currently, it is an indisputable fact that the largest volume of the findings of research in the technical and scientific world is published in the English language. The requirements of leading open literature publications are prescriptive in both the quality of the research work being carried out, editorial standards, quality of the English and presentation. As an ESL student, researcher or academic, without professional academic editing, you may find it difficult to get your technical documents through the peer review stage. Therefore, making efforts to have your work reviewed and edited by a native English speaking specialist in your technical area is of the utmost importance.

Academic and scientific translation services
All translations require a level of subject expertise, however, academic translations are in a league of their own. In order to achieve a high-quality translation, it is essential that your translator has true expertise in your field.
English Monitor has access to a vast global network of specialist academic translators – each with a specific background and expertise in a vast array of academic and scientific disciplines.
Academic texts are unlike other documents in that they can span a hugely versatile number of topics and disciplines. From technical to theoretical, from the hard sciences to the liberal arts – English Monitor has your specific area of expertise covered.
Let’s face it, in academia, every topic is highly specific! For example, let’s say you have an academic paper in the topic area of “Algorithmic Game Theory and Computational Mechanism Design” you can’t just go to a translation company and expect them to have an in-house translator that specializes in your highly specific field of expertise to a level whereby they’d be able to effectively translate your text. In such circumstances, the role of the translation company is to use their network and expertise to locate an expert that has the necessary background to conduct the work. This is exactly what we offer at English Monitor.
We have expertise in the following language pairs:
We ensure that your English translator is educated in your field of study and that they, therefore, have sound and up to date knowledge of your academic area. Many have PhD or Master’s degree qualifications from top British and international universities.
At English Monitor, we pride ourselves on providing our clients with a professional, timely and cost-effective service. We use university graduate, Western-educated, mother-tongue English editors with higher degrees. English Monitor’s responsiveness and quality can be assured.
