After learning to translate medical documents at Uni and having access to the academic documents/journals that the library subscription allows, I find that after graduation I am no longer able to access this information. This means that it is much more difficult to find articles to confirm the use of terminology. How do other translators overcome this issue. Is there a professional subscription to academic articles that one can access or subscribe to ? | | | Recommendation | Oct 6, 2018 |
Dear JST17,
Whenever I need to prepare for a medical conference interpreting assignment, I tend to use El Sevier. This is a great resource and has partly open access. Subscription is free, if I remember correctly.

You can get the abstracts via Science Direct and PubMed, but access to full-texts will not be available unless you subscribe. If you are able to enter a profile on Researchgate, authors post many of their key publications or may send you a copy if you ask for it. Google Scholar is another source and there is more out there than you imagine. | | | No need for such subscriptions | Oct 7, 2018 |
There is no need for journal subscriptions to check terminology. Strong research skills using Google are normally adequate, however you need to check that the references you use are solid and reliable. | |

You don't need to read a full article to find the usages of a term. In my 20 years of medical translation practice, I have never seen any nut that cannot be cracked simply by google search. | | | Tom in London યૂનાઇટેડ કિંગ્ડમ Local time: 12:52 સભ્ય (2008) ઇટાલિયન થી અંગ્રેજી JStor and the sad tale of Aaron Swartz RIP | Oct 8, 2018 |

I agree with the others about Google being your best friend.
If you really want to read articles, I'd recommend Science and Nature group ones for general science. Nature Communications for example is an open access one, so you can read all the articles free of charge. If you require more specific ones, each field have their own. Cardiovascular disease has Circulation, neuroscience has Journal of Neuroscience. There are many others.

However, I am a former clinical scientist myself and I never read any articles now and only read a small number of articles when I was doing research, mostly ones about my (very specific) field. ▲ Collapse | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Recommendations for subscriptions to academic articles?
