We have also partnered with Maruzen (Japan’s largest academic publisher) and Dai Nippon Printing (DNP; the world’s second largest printer and publisher) for their editorial and translation needs. Crimson is a company where cultures across boundaries thrive together. We have a diverse in house staff comprising Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, and Indians, all working toward a common objective.

At these awards, Crimson stood out in the academic editing, transcription, and language solutions domain, and was a clear winner compared to its closest competitors. Freelance Editors Freelance editors play a pivotal role in our business model and help us in ensuring author satisfaction by editing academic papers meant for publication in highly acclaimed international journals, across a vast range of subject areas. We are looking for PhDs/postdoctorals who are highly proficient in English (native English speakers only) to work with us on a freelance basis for our editing and publication services. Qualities we look for in our freelance editors: • Proficiency and competence in the most widely spoken language across the world—English! • Knack for diligently editing, restructuring, and polishing articles written by non-native speakers, with least 5 years of relevant copyediting/academic editing experience. • Extensive subject matter expertise in the following areas :- Economics Catalysis Plasma Physics/Chemistry Organic Chemistry Physical Chemistry Applied Physics Engineering (Electronics/Mechanical/Biomolecular/Environmental) Material Sciences (MEMS, Nano materials, etc.) Statistics (Statistical theory, Statistical modeling, etc.) Computational statistics Mathematics Game Theory Neuromedicine/Neurosurgery Cardiology/Cardiac Surgery Vascular Medicine/Vascular Surgery Physiology Anatomy Orthopedics Microbiology Clinical Pharmacology Ophthalmology Psychiatry Dentistry/Oral & Maxillofacial Pathology Evolutionary biology Radiology/Imaging Psychology Sociology Linguistics We prefer editor profiles that reflect • PhD/postdoctoral research experience (studies conducted, papers written/published, papers reviewed, etc.) • Certificate/experience in academic editing, publishing, scientific communication, journal article writing, etc. • Experience in editing ESL (English as a second language) manuscripts • Knowledge of the style (such as APA, CMS, AMA, CSE, IEEE, etc.) and conventions followed in academic writing • Member of acclaimed editing and publishing associations like EFA, EASE, BELS, etc. A glimpse at what you would edit You will be assigned papers of varying difficulty levels (in terms of English, subject matter expertise, and the extent of revision needed) written by non-native speakers in either English or their native language (translated papers). These papers are written by what we believe constitute an eclectic group of authors and writers, i.e., we receive work from not only scientists, researchers, and students but also corporates, linguists, and the common man trying to communicate in English—from the latest in cutting-edge technology to the timeless fascination with history and arts! Our freelance editors should ensure • immaculate grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and word choice • flow, transition, correct terminology, correctness of content, and coherence • appropriate manuscript format* that conforms to academic conventions in terms of citation style, layout, section headings, and tense usage • preservation of the author’s intended meaning even in papers where the content requires extensive revision *Freelance editors also thoroughly format the manuscript as per mentioned journal guidelines when clients opt for our journal formatting service. We ensure a smooth performance-driven progression curve for our freelance editors wherein they graduate from copy to substantive editing. We also practice an effective feedback mechanism, which ensures that the expectation mismatch is nearly zero. In the past, the strong professional bonding with our freelance editors has also lead to mutual recommendations—a definite plus factor! Working with us as a freelancer editor is a rewarding experience, both monetarily and intellectually, as you get to apply your domain knowledge and skills to help non-native authors present their work to the world through esteemed journals and renowned conferences, with the flexibility of timings and hours dedicated to editing. Selection Process 1) We examine your CV/resume and check whether your overall profile meets our requirements. 2) We send you a doctored editing sample designed to test your editing skills and subject matter expertise. 3) We get back to you within 1 week with the results of evaluation of the abovementioned sample. 4) If selected, we present you with a contract, which includes a non-disclosure agreement, terms of service, and other relevant documents.
