Aims & Scope

Target promotes the scholarly study of translational phenomena from any part of the world and welcomes submissions of an interdisciplinary nature. The journal"s focus is on research on the theory, history, culture and sociology of translation and on the description and pedagogy that underpin and interact with these foci. We welcome contributions that report on empirical studies as well as speculative and applied studies. We do not publish papers on purely practical matters, and prospective contributors are advised not to submit masters theses in their raw state.
