Abstract

Prof. Frans De Laet is the editor-in-chief of Babel and an experienced practitioner in writing and reviewing for international journals. The interview, which is carried out against the background of the “Double First-Rate Plan” China introduced to enhance its higher education, covers: (1) the past and present of Babel; (2) selection of international journals to publish; (3) trendy topics of translation studies; (4) writing for international journals; and (5) the evaluation process of Babel. Through the interview, Prof. De Laet offers valuable information and advices for Chinese scholars who wish to publish in an international journal. It is hoped that the interview will also be helpful for Chinese translation studies to be integrated internationally.
