“…Unlike Klimova (2013), Linder (2014) investigated the quality of 197 published English abstracts selected from Spain’s ten most prestigious open-access translation studies journals. Although the overall quality of these abstracts was much better than what Klimova (2013) had reported, the results indicated that 73 English abstracts contained 128 grammatical, vocabulary-related, and typographical errors.…”

“…Unlike Klimova (2013) and Linder (2014) who investigated the quality of actual abstracts written by EFL researchers, Hosseingholipour et al (2021) examined the perceptions of nine physical education professors and four Ph.D. students at Iranian universities about the factors affecting the quality of Iranian researchers’ English abstracts as well as their common errors in writing English abstracts. The results indicated that problems with the English language negatively affect the quality of Iranian researchers’ English abstracts; and English language errors were commonly committed by them.…”

“…It is customary that articles published in non-English journals require accompanying English abstracts to establish the international visibility of the research, the journals, as well as the authors (Burgoine et al, 2011; Cilveti & Pérez, 2006; Klimova, 2013; Linder, 2014; Lorés-Sanz, 2016). Undoubtedly, these English abstracts play a significant role in establishing the international visibility (Burgoine et al, 2011; Friginal & Mustafa, 2017; Hosseingholipour et al, 2021; Hyland, 2002; Linder, 2014). Nowadays, more and more Chinese EFL (English as a foreign language) researchers publish research articles in English journals hosted in English speaking countries such as the United States and Great Britain (Huang et al, 2021; Li & Flowerdew, 2007).…”

This study examined Chinese EFL researchers’ English abstract writing in language education. Using open-ended questionnaires, it first investigated 24 Chinese EFL researchers’ perceptions of their challenges in writing English abstracts. Using generalizability theory and follow-up interviews, it then invited 16 experienced English journal reviewers to assess 27 published English abstracts written by Chinese EFL researchers to identify common errors and suggest improvement tips. Finally, it examined eight selected Chinese EFL researchers’ critical reflections on the English journal reviewers’ assessment of the 27 English abstracts. The results indicated that Chinese EFL researchers experienced several challenges in writing English abstracts. Further, the English reviewers’ assessment of the 27 abstracts was consistent and reliable. The common errors were associated with the accuracy, non-evaluative nature, coherence and readability, and conciseness of an English abstract. The English reviewers provided tips for improvement, and Chinese EFL researchers expressed their critical reflections on their assessment. Educational implications are discussed.

On the Challenges of Transnational Feminist Translation Studies

The term “transnational” developed over the 20th century to describe cosmopolitan, multicultural societies that stem from migration; the concept of transnational feminist translation studies adds references to postcolonial feminisms to this term, offering new collaborative avenues of research and publication. This article reports on the challenges such collaborations pose, and how they have impacted an early attempt to produce an anthology of scholarly texts in the area of transnational feminist translation studies (Flotow and Farahzad, 2017). It develops a number of specific areas of difficulty: the “hegemony” of English in academic publishing and how this affects the circulation of feminist texts from beyond the Anglo-American Eurozone; the issue of power relations between editors and authors, cultures, and languages; questions of inclusion and exclusion, especially as different religious/cultural backgrounds affect scholarly discussion; and the importance of women’s/feminist diversity as well as the risks/benefits of a universalizing discourse. While the article is concerned with “challenges”, it ends with a call for more such collaborative transnational work to re-energize and promote the field of feminist translation studies worldwide.
