The Society for Editors and Proofreaders earns chartership

As of today, the Society for Editors and Proofreaders is now the Chartered Institute for Editing and Proofreading! This is a most exciting change for the organisation, and for editing and proofreading as professions. Why this change? In the CIEP's words, "The main aims of becoming chartered are to promote good editing and to raise the value and standing of our profession. Chartered status will allow us to build a greater appreciation of good editing (in its widest sense), based on recognised qualifications, high standards and a better understanding of what editorial professionals do." 

Congratulations to all who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to achieve chartership, and here's to a bright future for the CIEP!

This is my final post in this series – so allow me to climb onto my soapbox. I believe this is the most important reason for making your manuscript as good as it can be. If you take one thing from this series, make it this: your readers are not just your peers.

So you’ve written your paper and it’s been accepted for publication – hooray! But that’s not the end of the story. There’s little point in publishing if your paper is never going to be cited, or perhaps even read! The way you write your manuscript can not only help you get published but can also serve to boost citations.

Peer reviewers are busy people. You may have already reviewed a manuscript yourself and know first-hand how the review has to be squeezed in between writing, teaching, and mentoring duties – oh, and actual research – all on a voluntary basis.

Why write well? (A 5-part series)
