Welcome to my page! ようこそ！
A brief introduction about myself.
I am a professional Japanese-to-English technical translator and editor with many years of experience, both in Japan and the UK.
In addition to studying Japanese, I also studied archaeology at Birkbeck College, at the University of London, and continue to work on academic papers and articles. I was also one of the organizers of IJET-17, the International Japanese English Translation Conference held at the Kobe International Conference Center in June 2006.
As a former archaeology student, I find living in Nara very exciting. Not only do we have the continuing excavations at Heijo Palace, but there are several large kofun (tumuli or burial mounds) near our house. I have also started my own sub-branch for people interested in, or studying ancient Japan. If you are interested in joining, send a message asking to join and I will send you an invitation.

"The seem to be many ways that copyrights can be split between authors and publishers, and practices vary from country to country and publisher to publisher.
What seems to be consistent is a lack of transparency. Who knows who holds which kind of…"

Copyright for Updated/Edited Works?
I would be intrigued to know what the position is regarding continuing to assign the original copyright on updated or edited in derivative works is in various countries.I have seen edited volumes, that are frequently updated, continue to assign copyright to the original publishers. In some cases, this has even included an acknowledgement of the contributions of an even earlier publisher. However, I have also seen volumes that simply state that the work is copyrighted, but not state where the…See More

- Dear Mark,
I previously had Box.net running at the Research Co-op, but it was used by a spammer to load a whole lot of junk onto our site. Eventually, it could add a lot of extra work for moderation of the site, but not much advantage, since standard email, Google docs and other services provide good opportunities for online collaboration with texts. Our focus needs to be helping to facilitate initial contact between writers, editors, translators and others. Whenever members send messages, it is already possible to upload document files, and this could be useful for sending sample texts for cost assessments, test translations, and so on.
