At the same time, online machine translation systems have become increasingly easy to access and use. Is this a researchers match made in heaven, or the road to publication perdition?\n\nHere Lynne Bowker and Jairo Buitrago Ciro introduce the concept of machine translation literacy, a new kind of literacy for scholars and librarians in the digital age. For scholars, they explain how machine translation works, how it is (or could be) used for scholarly communication, and how both native and non-native English-speakers can write in a translation-friendly way .
