Job Description
.Job description
We are looking for experienced copy editors & substantive editors in Physics, Engineering and Medicine with a core academic background.

Proficiency and competence in the most widely spoken language across the world-English!
Knack for diligently editing, restructuring, and polishing articles written by non-native speakers, with least 5 years of relevant copyediting/academic editing experience

Research experience (studies conducted, papers written/published, papers reviewed, etc.)
Certificate/experience in academic editing, publishing, scientific communication, and journal article writing
Extensive experience in editing ESL (English as a Second Language) manuscripts
Knowledge of the style (such as APA, CMS, AMA, CSE, IEEE) and conventions followed in academic writing

A glimpse at what you would edit:
You will be assigned papers of varying difficulty levels (in terms of English, subject matter expertise, and the extent of revision needed) written by non-native speakers in either English or their native language (translated papers). These papers written by what we believe constitute an eclectic group of authors and writers, i.e., we receive work from not only scientists, researchers, and students but also corporates, linguists, and the common man trying to communicate in English--from the latest in cutting-edge technology to the timeless fascination with history and arts!
Our freelance editors should ensure:
Immaculate grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and word choice
Flow, transition, correct terminology, correctness of content, and coherence
Appropriate manuscript format* that conforms to academic conventions in terms of citation style, layout, section headings, and tense usage
