MMSL X:X | DOI: 10.31482/mmsl.2025.008
Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have introduced powerful tools for machine translation (MT) and automated language proofreading (ALP) into academic publishing. However, their evaluation in highly specialized fields such as medicine and pharmacy remains methodologically underexplored. This study presents a multidimensional evaluation framework that integrates human expert judgment with AI-based replication to assess the quality of AI-generated translations and proofreading outputs. The framework covers three quality dimensions applicable to both MT and ALP: semantic fidelity, terminological accuracy and consistency, and grammatical correctness...

Current developments in the DRC demonstrate that the success of epidemiological measures is directly dependent on the security situation and on the ability to effectively coordinate the activities...
