摘要:
【目的】调查机器翻译在医学论文摘要翻译中的应用现状,识别关键问题,并探索有效的机器翻译协同路径。【方法】采用问卷调查法,面向医学期刊编辑和作者收集关于机器翻译的认知、使用行为和质量评价的数据。【结果】共收集193名编辑和489名作者的数据。93.66%的作者和87.57%的编辑会在学术翻译中使用在线机器翻译,并有系统偏好。90.68%的编辑接受机器翻译作为辅助工具,75.65%认为其在一定程度上可减轻工作量。61.14%的编辑、44.58%的作者会在机器翻译前积极优化原文;58.69%的作者表示有译后编辑,但只有29.02%的编辑认可作者于投稿前进行译后编辑。51.12%的作者和29.02%的编辑对机器翻译加作者修改的摘要质量表示满意;编辑审校后的摘要质量得到70.46%的编辑和42.74%的作者的较高评价。【结论】机器翻译在医学论文摘要翻译中被广泛采用,但存在使用习惯和质量评价差异。建议建立从作者到编辑的协同路径,培养机器翻译有效使用能力,以促进机器翻译与医学科技期刊出版的深度融合,提高翻译质量和效率。

Abstract:
[Purposes] This study aims to investigate the current application status of machine translation (MT) in the translation of medical paper abstracts, identify key issues, and explore effective collaborative pathways for MT. [Methods] We conducted a questionnaire survey to collect data from medical journal editors and authors regarding their awareness, usage behavior, and quality evaluation of MT. [Findings] Data are collected from 193 editors and 489 authors in this survey. Totally 93.66% of authors and 87.57% of editors use online MT for academic translation and have system preferences. 90.68% of editors accept MT as an auxiliary tool, and 75.65% consider that it has reduced their workload to a certain degree. 61.14% of editors and 44.58% of authors actively optimize the original text before using MT. 58.69% of authors state that they conduct post-editing, but only 29.02% of editors recognize that authors have done post-editing before submission. 51.12% of authors and 29.02% of editors are satisfied with the quality of abstracts after MT and author modifications. The quality of abstracts after editorial review is highly rated by 70.46% of editors and 42.74% of authors. [Conclusions] MT is widely adopted in the translation of medical paper abstracts, but differences exist in usage habits and quality evaluations. It is recommended to establish a collaborative pathway from authors to editors, cultivate the ability to use MT effectively, and promote the in-depth integration of MT into the publication of medical scientific journals, so as to improve translation quality and efficiency.
