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.

​

ScENe is a group of professional scientific editors who

• Work in university, research center, government, company, or freelance settings in the United States

• Perform substantive scientific editing of grant proposals, research articles, and other documents

• 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)
