Another research paper translated into the Portuguese language

Translation with Colour®'s involvement with academic research is not new and this assignment is another evidence of this trend. The original article was written in English and focused on the Triple Helix Model for development, which involves academic institutions and associated research units, companies and the business sector, and the (local) administrations.

About the article itself one must point out that the writing style is what one can expect from an advanced academic piece of writing: neither simple nor eloquent; the paragraphs are long but concepts and ideas are well articulated, with subordination and coordination following smoothly. Don't know if the final English text was reviewed by an (a native) English teacher at the university but the English language used was well above average, considering the variety of vocabulary, grammar flawlessness, word collocation, and overall text organisation and pragmatics of English language. One final note: the authors of the research paper are two Portuguese university teachers in the University of Aveiro.
