Editage was an exhibitor at the recent 54th Annual Council of Science Editors (CSE) meeting in Baltimore, Maryland. We were represented by Donald Samulack, PhD, and Sandi McIntyre from the U.S. office and by Daniel Rosario and Yukti Bharwani from the head office. The attendees included approximately 350 journal publishers, authors, researchers, and editing organizations. Editage showcased its capabilities in editing and journal/author support.
The theme of the meeting was "Making Science Matter," with many of the guest speakers focusing on science literacy and the role of science editors in our rapidly changing world. In keeping with this theme, Editage presented a poster entitled "Does having a non–English first language hinder competence in manuscript editing?" The poster, which highlighted the fact that many accomplished manuscript editors are equally proficient in their native language and in English, generated a lot of positive buzz and received the "2011 Best Poster" award. Congratulations to Daniel Rosario, Senior Managing Editor, who wrote the poster, and to all those who contributed to its success!
