POST 23/5 – TESTIMONIO

AVIVA LEV-ARI, PhD, RN

[Edited version]

“A miracle that came true”. This is how Aviva Lev-Ari, PhD, RN founder of LPBI Group’s described what she and her venture had accomplished by partnering with Montero for a “monumental” #Medicine and #LifeSciences translation project. It was “monumental” because it involved 18 books in medicine 😊.

Dr. Lev-Ari is the editor-in-chief behind the Medicine and Life Sciences Scientific Journal, PharmaceuticalIntelligence.com  An open access scientific journal that has over 2.2 million views by over 1.4 million visitors. Over 6,170 scientific articles and over 740 categories of research in its ontology.

Between June 2013 and February 2021, LPBI Group’s team published eighteen 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 medical 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 covering five medical specialties:

• Series A: Cardiovascular Diseases – Six volumes
• Series B: Frontiers in Genomics – Two volumes
• Series C: Cancer & Oncology – Two volumes
• Series D: Immunology – Four volumes [volume 2&3 published in one book]
• Series E: Patient-Centered Medicine & Precision Medicine – Four volumes

These e-books, including 𝟮,𝟳𝟮𝟴 scientific 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀 curated and authored 𝗯𝘆 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 experts and medical 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀 pursuing the quest to make the latest research available to healthcare professionals and accessible to the Global community of biological scientists, practicing physicians and medical students.

Now, 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗻 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵-𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲?

With 471,000 million speakers in 22 countries, the Spanish language was the most relevant language to publish a new edition.

So, it was time to find the right #LanguageServiceProvider. Dr. Lev-Ari first contacted:

1️⃣ A company that couldn’t handle the project due to its size.

2️⃣ Another provider whose quote they couldn’t accept.

This led LPBI to adjust the scope of work and set certain boundaries, such as the budget for the project and making the decision that the project will focus on translation of the cover page of 18 e-books and the electronic Table of Contents (eTOCs) of these e-Books.

And then Aviva came across Fritz Handtke and Montero on LinkedIn. We held a couple of meetings to:

🤝 Define the scope of the project.

🤝 Create a methodology we could repeat 18 times.

🤝 Show LPBI how we work, including the software used to avoid counting (and charging for) repeated words.

🤝 Introduce our experts in the medical field to them.

Aviva’s acceptance of our quote marked the beginning of a very smooth collaboration.

It took us less than five months, involving three #MedicalTranslators, to deliver the eTOCs in Spanish (for 𝟭𝟵 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 divided into five series).

The result of this project was “a new genre of the original #biomed e-Series.” In each volume of the Spanish-language Edition: PART A is Spanish audios, PART B is Bilingual texts, and PART C is editorials in English.

• Serie A: Enfermedades cardiovasculares – Six volumes
• Serie B: Fronteras de la investigación genómica – Three volumes [One new book in the Spanish-language Edition]
• Serie C: Cáncer y la oncología – Two volumes
• Serie D: Biomedicina. Metabolómica, inmunología, enfermedades infecciosas, genómica reproductiva y endocr – Four volumes [volume 2 and volume 3 are separate books]
• Serie E: Medicina centrada en el paciente – Four volumes

When we asked Dr. Lev-Ari about her experience with Montero, she highlighted the following points:

1️⃣ “At all times, there was 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁.”

2️⃣ “One of the editors of the series A in cardiovascular is a Spanish-speaking cardiologist. He reviewed 2 books and confirmed the 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆.”

3️⃣ “Their 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 was most favorable. After submitting a file, I got the translation within a week. For any questions, I’d receive a timely response.”

Imagine how thrilled we were to hear her say:

“Congratulations to Montero because they delivered a very monumental project. Without our collaboration, that would have most likely not have happened.”

Thanks to Aviva and LPBI Group for your trust in Montero!
