Top Freelance Scientific Editors for Hire

The combination of subject area expertise and excellent command of the English language is rare and describes precisely the skills needed for a successful scientific editor, a niche that is always seeking new people to fill the available positions.

Scientific editing is what bridges the gap between the researchers, who bring their discoveries to be shared with the scientific community, and the journals, who share the publications with the world.

Scientific editing services are very effective to improve the quality of a study. Editors make sure that the message of the study is clear, find potential gaps in the study and improve its readability. The aim is not only focus on the language, but also on the quality of scientific content.

The suggested changes resulting from scientific editing allow for every single reader to clearly understand the study in question and to be able to extract relevant information without effort.

Scientific editing positions are usually filled by researchers, who also need to identify the most important papers for publication. These positions typically requires a broad understanding of different research topics.

Few researchers feel completely comfortable when communicating their data.  Writing in a simple and succinct way can become a challenge, particularly when complex data is involved. A scientific editor can certainly increase the chances of your article being accepted for publication.

Despite the fact that many scientific journals and publishers offer language editing services when submitting an article, the costs involved tend to be high. Thus, hiring a freelance manuscript editor is usually the quickest and most cost-effective solution.

If you do not feel very inspired to write a cover letter for your submission, you can also ask the freelance editor for help, as a well-written letter makes all the difference, clearly explaining the importance of your findings and why it deserves to be published.

If you decide to pay by the hour, the price to hire a freelance science editor starts at 30 USD. It is also possible to work on a fixed rate per project, which is usually divided into milestones.

Payment to the freelancer is done once you are satisfied with the job, making it a very safe choice for all your scientific editing needs.

The search for a suitable expert for your project can be facilitated when you provide information on each of the following points:

• Project description or scope of work: for best results, include as much information as possible and be clear on the field so you can try to find a freelancer with experience.
• Duration of the project: is it a short-term or a long-term collaboration? You can be specific about it in this section. You should also mention your final deadline for the final manuscript.
• By when you need to hire: state how much time you are willing to spend on the search.
• Budget: specify how much funding you can allocate for your project.
• Skills required: what would you like to find in the resume of the freelancer? How much previous experience, related jobs done, etc.

If you want to improve your scientific articles before submission, hire a professional specialized in scientific paper editing who can add value to your work and increase your chances of acceptance.
