Bowker and Ciro describe ways that machine translation is used in the context of scholarly communication, and suggest how to use it more effectively. Getting an online machine translation is easy, they say, but it is often more complex to make critical and effective use of a machine translation as part of the scholarly communication process. They cover scholarly communication, machine translation, expanding the reach of knowledge through translation-friendly writing, some wider implications of using machine translation for scholarly communication, and towards a framework for machine translation literacy. -- Annotation ©2019 * (protoview.com) *
