Peer Edits

In an effort to diversify the voices of science, we have created a free platform for connecting volunteer English-language editors with those looking for help with the clarity of their scientific writing. peeredits.org

Reviewers sometimes mistakenly ask for 'native English speaker' to help with editing. Reviewers might think this softens the criticism (i.e. its understandable) but this is not how these comments are experienced by authors. Review only the manuscript not the authors. @PeerEdits

We will be presenting a poster at #Evol2022 Drop by and say hi and consider joining our growing team of editors! @Evol_mtg

EELS has finally been launched! This program will provide COST-FREE language support for authors in the Evolution journal! I am over the moon with this program, and super proud of being a part of this! We are now looking for a language editor, senior folks please apply!

EVOLUTION ENGLISH LANGUAGUE SUPPORT We are launching a pilot program to provide cost-free language support to potential authors! We seek to appoint a coordinator and team of editors for this program. Coordinator applications due May 1! evolutionsociety.org/news/display/2…

Representation matters! We are aware of the pervasive knowledge gaps in science. That's why we have unified the efforts of students and researchers in Evolutionary Biology to create a course that will help boost students from the Global South who dream of a career in #EvoBio 🧬💚

Lots of great resources for communicating science in English on Authoraid website: authoraid.info/en/

#PLOSONE: Disadvantages in preparing and publishing scientific papers caused by the dominance of the English ... dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

@lfinnegal Does that help to solve the problem? Thanks again for your interest in helping. It is so rewarding to watch the team of editors grow!

@lfinnegal I have heard from a few people who were also struggling to add an editor account. Once logged into PeerEdits, editors need to create a new 'editor' account in the database, which requires a new entry to be created (new login and password). Your PeerEdits info will not work here

Great scientists think in all of these languages but most science is published in English. Let’s help reduce barriers to publishing by non-native English speakers. We need to hear from everyone! #GlobalizeScience

Looks like an interesting resource. I would also encourage folks to join our editorial team at PeerEdits.org to help provide editing support!

@lfinnegal Thnx for signing up, by the way!!

As a nonnative speaker, I struggled to write scientific papers in English. Here’s how I learned | Science | AAAS science.org/content/articl…

If you want to help reduce the barriers experienced by non-native English speakers then consider joining our team of editors!

@aboutgeology @seismo_steve Thanks for doing this Andrew. We have just created a platform to connect volunteer editors with those looking to get some help with the clarity of their writing. peeredits.org

@seismo_steve You may also be thanking folks like me, who copyedit papers like that. But I share your admiration of authors working in a second language. Speaking English natively is a privilege akin to white privilege.

Totally agreed. That is why we are doing what we can to reduce these barriers!

Let’s help globalize the voices of climate science!!! @queenofpeat @KHayhoe @rpancost @waterbarnes @JacquelynGill

@kaija_bean Awesome! Just click on the '+ add entry' or just the '+' on a mobile device.

@PeerEdits Hi! I'd love to add my name to the database, but I can't figure out how. When I click "Join the Community" it brings me to a map but there's no option to enter my information...
