Title: Editing (and/or translating) scientific research manuscripts for meaning

Speaker: Rick Weisburd

Speaker’s BIO: Rick Weisburd grew up in New York and earned his B.S. in biology (minor in chemistry) from the State University of New York at Albany. His PhD is in oceanography (University of Hawaii at Manoa). Since moving to Japan in 1990, Rick did research for 6 years at the National Institute for Environmental Studies and then taught and did research the University of Tsukuba biology department for 9 years. In 2006 he resigned from the university to assume the presidency of ELSS, Inc. Rick is certified by the Board of Editors in the Life Sciences and has taught research writing at various research institutions every year since 1996.

Intended Audience: Translators interested in scientific writing, editing, and translating

Abstract: Japan is one of the world’s leading countries in science. Japanese scientists publish about 70,000 indexed research manuscripts every year, most of them in English; together with the general insufficiency of English proficiency among Japanese scientists, this makes for a huge market for editors and translators. In this lecture I will explain the fundamental characteristics of science, research writing, and what is needed for editors to help Japanese scientists to effectively communicate their research to the international scientific community. I will also touch on levels of edit, qualifications for research editing, the business of editing, the structure of research papers, research journals, and the peer review process. Many aspects of scientific editing are also useful and relevant for translators of scientific content.
