Announcing Scholarly Kitchen Translation Collections

In collaboration with Edita, today we are making available a set of four articles translated into Spanish:

At the top of the page on our navigation bar you should now see a pull-down menu for translations, which are collected for readers here. We expect to see further articles in the next few months from our work with Edita, and have a few other language collections in the works, so stay tuned for more. And if your company does translation work for researchers and you’d be interested in collaborating with The Scholarly Kitchen to expand. our collections, you can reach us at scholarlykitchen@sspnet.org, we would love to hear from you.
