Academic Translator Meme
WRITING | 117 ACADEMIC TRANSLATOR What academics say | What they mean Various sources | I forgot the name and author of that one paper We are grateful to the two anonymous peer reviewers for their constructive comments | God help them if I ever find out who they are A promising area for an initial study | I have to do this to get funding Widely discussed in the academic community | I accidentally ended up in the middle of a heated Twitter argument The notes were meticulously transcribed | I was drunk and missed out at least seven pages An extensive literature review | A quick Google search A complex phenomenon | I don't understand Has long evaded the understanding of scientists | I don't understand why I don't understand Is impossible to summarise simply | I still don't understand Approaching the traditional threshold for statistical significance | Not significant More research is required | I need funding
A photographed book page presents a humorous translator between academic jargon and its blunt, honest meanings. Each polished phrase is paired with an embarrassing or cynical explanation, mocking academic writing, research funding, peer review, and statistical significance. It is shared as a reaction to pretentious language or the realities behind scholarly work.
