MECS is an independent publisher of peer-reviewed, open-access journals—and we cover a wide range of academic fields. Right now, we publish 10 scientific journals, and we’re looking for technical editors from around the world to join our team!
What does a Technical Editor do?
Think of a technical editor as the “final quality check” before a paper goes live. You’ll help make sure each article is clear, accurate, well-structured, and ready for readers—especially researchers and professionals in the field. Here’s what that usually involves:
Polishing the writing
You’ll review manuscripts for grammar, clarity, consistency, and flow—not rewriting content, but helping authors express their ideas more effectively.
Giving friendly, constructive feedback
You might suggest small tweaks to wording or structure, or point out places where a concept could be explained more clearly—always with the goal of supporting the author, not changing their voice.
Keeping things on track
You’ll help manage timelines—like checking in with authors and reviewers, nudging deadlines gently, and making sure everything moves smoothly toward publication.
Handling the tech side
That includes formatting articles correctly (e.g., headings, references, figures), uploading them to our publishing platform, and double-checking that everything looks right online.
Keeping the audience in mind
Whether it’s a paper for AI researchers or educators using edtech tools, you’ll help shape the final version so it speaks clearly to *who* it’s meant for.
Who are we looking for?
A PhD (in computer science, engineering, data science, AI, or a closely related field)
Strong English skills—you’re comfortable reading, editing, and writing academic content
Experience writing or reviewing research papers (a big plus—but if you’re new and eager to learn, let us know!)
The ability to work independently, stay organized, and meet deadlines—no micromanagement needed!
We value curiosity, attention to detail, and a collaborative spirit—and we’re especially excited to hear from editors who bring diverse perspectives and global experience.
If you’re interested—or even just curious—feel free to send your resume to job@mecs-press.org! We’d be happy to hear from you.
