AJE exists to make research communication faster, fairer and more useful. Through English editing and our comprehensive suite of author services, we are proud to have supported over 2.5 million researchers in 192 countries since our founding in 2004. By helping researchers achieve publication success, we accelerate the pace of global discovery and advancement. AJE provides a platform that allows qualified editing providers to support researchers from across the world. AJE's contract developmental editors can work remotely from anywhere in the US 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. Developmental editing providers are compensated based on manuscript length. The goal of a scientific edit is to help improve the presentation of scientific information, ensure that novel findings are conveyed in a coherent narrative, and tailor the manuscript to its intended audience.
