Italian to English translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Economics
Italian term or phrase: prof.
I'm revising an essay written in English by two professors of economics at European universities (in Italy and Switzerland). The Italian author uses "prof. XXX YYYY" while the Swiss author claims he's never seen any person be introduced or spoken of in a scholarly article as "prof." (I suppose he implies the two authors should just use the guy's name). I'm uncertain on this. I think that in the scholarly articles I've read (in philosophy) use of "prof." is pretty rare. Any ideas?

Thank you!
