From a CV. I'm not sure if its author of a research report or if there is another way to say this (up to now the person's experience has been presenting papers at conferences and teaching courses, so I don't have much additional context for this entry)

Muriel Vasconcellos Apr 18, 2010:
Use of "author" In scientific texts, it's not uncommon in English to refer to researchers as 'authors' when discussing work they have published. It surprised me a little when I first noticed this practice.

Good evening and thanks, Patricia.
agree patinba : I like the "investigative"; it seems to be more than mere scientific research.

Good evening and thanks, patinba. "Investigative" seems specific to this situation. Normally, in medicine I would use "research" but it doesn't fit here.

This is someone is looking into forensic reports and torture cases. HE is not the one actually doing up the reports, but from I understand from the rest of the text, he is looking at these forensic reports to study the frequency, type, etc. of people who have died through torture.

Author of the (research) paper on xxxx [entitled:...]

What appears after the colon is (1) the title, and (2) the publisher, hence the use of "the" (instead of "a").

Since the author has presented papers at conferences, this would appear to be another one, i.e., another RESEARCH paper (in the context of a CV's list of published works).

Autor de la investigación sobre informes forenses y casos de tortura: "Los médicos ante los malos tratos y la tortura" =
Author of the [following] (research) paper on xxx [entitled]:..."

xxxx = forensic reports and cases of torture

I hope this helps!

Spanish term (edited): Autor de la investigación sobre informes forenses y casos de tortura

Conducted research of forensic reports and [alleged] cases of torture.

Comments:

1.
Best to get away from a literal translation here of "Author of" which sounds a bit stiff for a CV, whereas use of a clipped sentence structure beginning with a verb in the past tense is more in keeping with CV/resume style.

2.
It seems that the man who composed this CV was a bit careless, for it would be the investigation that would confirm whether torture occurred, would it not? And therefore "alleged cases of torture" would seem indicated here.

Suerte.
Peer comment(s):

agree Lydia De Jorge : I think "Conducted research" is a better fit than "author"...saludos!
