Hurray for the article, and thank you Steve and Lynn!
I have written three research books, translated one from English into Russian, and co-translated at least two (judging by the degree of collaboration) from Russian into English, with Robert. The translation work has required more research and academic dedication than the strict-research one--not less. After all, in translation, we have to address all the textual problems, and some extra-textual--not merely those we feel like choosing for our personal interest. Yet where is the recognition?
