.. and may I congratulate the authors on their good (or hard) work.
I don't think the term needs to be translated! I've balanced out the sentence in English by stressing the work part!

: "in advance" implies that the work has yet to be done/completed, ie, the authors are being congratulated on work they haven't done yet, or at least whose quality is as yet unknown!

may I be the first to congratulate the authors
esta es una posibilidad que toma en cuenta el hecho de que el informe está ya redactado pero sin difundir.
