Aims and focus areas
-
Four main goals
As a social network, the has main four main goals, namely to encourage:
(1) researchers to help each other as readers and editors for papers that are being prepared for publication (mutual, collegial support).
(2) students or graduates who wish to become editors, translators, etc. to offer volunteer help, in order to gain experience and eventually become professional.
(3) researchers to seek volunteer or paid help with editing, translation, etc, according to what is needed for a particular publication and how much funding is available, and in order to build their own trusted working relationships with people who can help them.
(4) professional language-service providers and (individuals or companies) to use the network to promote their as editors, translators, etc.
Apart from these goals, there is no limit on the range of countries, topics and languages that may be represented in our network. A global network with global scope is needed to improve the and scientific 'ecosystem' within which is published.
Our overall focus is "better communication" - in all areas of research-based, or scientific writing and publishing.
