Join the scientists
improving how science is published.

A PhD is strongly preferred. We work with researchers at the doctoral or postdoctoral level with demonstrated expertise in their sub-field.

You are, or have recently been, an active researcher — with first- or corresponding-author publications in peer-reviewed journals. You understand what a reviewer looks for because you have been one.

You approach citation claims the way a careful reviewer would: you retrieve the source, read it against the specific assertion, and flag the gap when they do not align. You find this natural, not laborious.

You can identify not only grammatical issues but structural and argumentative weaknesses in a manuscript — where the scientific reasoning loses momentum, where a transition fails, where the central claim is not made unmissable.

A well-prepared manuscript reaches peer review in a condition where the reviewer encounters nothing but the science. The work you do directly affects whether important findings make it into the record.

All editorial work is performed remotely. You set your own availability, accepting manuscripts that fit your schedule and expertise. There is no minimum commitment requirement.

Submedit was founded by an active scientist who experienced the problem firsthand. Every member of the editorial team shares the conviction that how science is communicated shapes what the field believes — and that this matters.

Editors are compensated per manuscript at rates commensurate with the level of expert judgment required. Platinum and Express manuscripts carry premium rates.
