A group of undergraduates is hoping to make a difference in the world by offering a free editing service to help researchers from developing nations get their work published in mainstream English language journals.
SciEdit was launched in February by the Journal of Young Investigators, a peer-reviewed, non-profit science journal run by students around the world and based in the US. The SciEdit service offers free manuscript proof reading and editing in order to increase the likelihood research from scientists in non-English speaking and developing nations will be accepted by English language publications.
Editor-in-Chief Alexander Nikolich Patananan, a doctoral student in the department of biochemistry and molecular biology at the University of California, Los Angeles, said SciEdit had so far attracted about 10 manuscripts. But, because of their quality, none had actually been reviewed.
