Independent Contract- Language Editor

At American Journal Experts (AJE, powered by MPS), we help researchers successfully communicate their work through trusted author-oriented solutions to overcome the barriers to the manuscript preparation process. We are actively recruiting independent contractors with field-specific expertise to edit scholarly manuscripts originally written by non-native English speakers so that language is not a barrier to research communication. AJE provides a platform that allows qualified editing providers to support researchers from across the world. AJE's contract editors can work remotely from anywhere in India with a stable internet connection. They can select manuscripts based on their areas of expertise, and they are not obligated to accept jobs that are available on our platform. Editing providers are compensated based on manuscript length.
