NEED
Researchers, academicians, and service providers alike must survive in a “publish or perish” environment, made more challenging by time famine and other exigencies. Extending the impact of our written words is indispensable to obtain funding, to bring proposed projects to fruition, to achieve tenure and advance professionally, and to uphold ethical standards in serving those whose lives we aim to improve. Editing and translation, then, are essential steps in writing for academic, professional, and public audiences.
