Scientific Editors Network Welcomes You
The mission of the Scientific Editors Network (ScENe) is to provide an inclusive, welcoming forum for scientific editors to share skills, knowledge, and resources; discuss strategies to overcome challenges; and improve science communication.
Our vision is to be a diverse community that advances scientific editing as a career and strengthens scientific research to benefit society.

Perform substantive scientific editing of grant proposals and research articles
-
Help scientists (e.g., biologists, chemists, physicists), engineers, and clinicians communicate effectively about their research
-
Share knowledge via monthly conference calls, a listserv, and this website (see a sampling of past ScENe calls)
