Call for Papers
Business Translation Journal (BTJ) is a twice-yearly peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the publication of recent and original research papers in all areas of business translation from theoretical and/or empirical perspectives. We want to encourage the construction of a bridge between the academia and the professional community on the outside, and to explore the use of translation in the business sectors. It is also critical that cultural and linguistic approaches to the solution of translation problems are applied in conjunction with the points of view and expertise of colleagues from other disciplines.
Based on sound research, BTJ aims to communicate theories, research methods, results, and case examples through its publications. The language of publication is English and/or Chinese. The first two issues will seek to define the field of business translation. The third issue and onwards will be special issues; the topics we have in mind now include computer-aided translation, legal translation and negotiation interpreting. We would appreciate any innovative ideas for future topics.
We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the inaugural issues:
