Aleksander Maciej Janicki
Editor & Translator
I have been working as an editor and translator since 2007. I specialize in English editing and French to English translations of research writing in the social sciences and humanities. My portfolio includes over sixty translated and edited research articles published in North American and European peer-reviewed journals across a range of disciplines. Take a look at my work portfolio here.
Trained in history (MA, McGill University) and exercising my trade as a language professional providing services to the research community, I hold clarity, precision, and coherence to be fundamental values. In editing and translation, I craft naturally flowing research writing that is terminologically rigorous, articulate, lucid, incisive, idiomatically savvy and as precise in detail as it is coherent in structure and substance. I deliver publishable quality texts.

Le travail de traducteur de M. Janicki prouve que la traduction a encore de l’avenir dans un contexte où l’on s’appuie de plus en plus sur les technologies de rupture, comme les robots conversationnels. J’ai particulièrement apprécié sa rigueur et son originalité marquées par l’effort de réécriture collaborative encouragé par les multiples interrogations de M. Janicki, qui étaient toujours pertinentes. Pour cette raison, je le recommande fortement et compte renouveler mon expérience avec lui.
My editing and translation services cater to all researchers seeking to disseminate their research in English. Whether you wish to publish research articles, deliver conference presentations, submit grant applications, effectively communicate with peers in writing, or submit a dissertation or manuscript for review or publication - my knowledge of academic English writing can serve as a tool through which to achieve your objectives. The edited and translated texts I produce are written in a natural native English voice that is eloquent, effective, consistent with the terminology and practices of your discipline, tailored to your intended readership, and adapted to the specific requirements of your publishers.

Methodology
Translation is the art of equilibrium: my aim is to preserve the integrity of your authorial voice and discourse while harmonizing them with the scholarly conventions of writing in your discipline. To do this seamlessly, research writing expertise is indispensable to effectively communicate your findings, showcase the strength of your arguments, and sharpen the coherence of your discussion. I work closely with each author in order to ensure that no element of an edited or translated text deviates from the intended meaning: each project passes through a draft stage that identifies potential ambiguities and indicates possible improvements to fluidity and clarity. It is only after resolving all potential concerns that I deliver your flawless text, optimized for publication.
