Dictionaries
To date I have had fourteen dictionaries published. Thirteen are bilingual (English-Spanish/Spanish-English), and one is monolingual. The areas covered include law, business, psychology and psychiatry, chemistry, and electrical and electronics engineering. My publishers have included Wiley, Wolters Kluwer, Routledge, Elsevier, and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and these dictionaries provide over 1,000,000 combined entries.
Each of these dictionaries faithfully complies with the four key characteristics which describe quality lexicographical work: 1) They are accurate, so that users can trust the content. 2) They are comprehensive, so that the desired words and phrases can be found. 3) They are current at the time of publication, so that users will not only find recent terms in the given field, but also the up-do-date connotations. 4) They are easy to use, so that information can be found without time-consuming distractions such as a confused layout.
In addition, my dictionaries are characterized by consistency, continuity, balance, and elegance. The main objective of my lexicographical writing is to help in the continual reduction of communications barriers.
Across the world, most quality universities have several of my published dictionaries available for consultation in their libraries.
