The Council of Science Editors (CSE), formerly the Council of Biology Editors (CBE; 1965–2000) and originally the Conference of Biology Editors (CBE; 1957–1965),[1] is a United States–based nonprofit organization that supports editorial practice among scientific writers. In 2008, the CSE adopted the slogan "CSE: Education, Ethics, and Evidence for Editors (E4)".
A volunteer board of directors leads the Council, with the assistance of several committees. CSE is managed by Riggs Enterprise Corp, located in New Jersey.
History and organization
[edit | edit source]The organization was established in 1957 by the National Science Foundation and the American Institute of Biological Sciences as the Conference of Biology Editors (CBE).[1] In 1965, the organization incorporated as the Council of Biology Editors "and soon thereafter expanded membership to include all scientific publishing endeavors from science editors to copy editors."[1] On January 1, 2000, it was renamed the Council of Science Editors.[1]
The membership of CSE comprises editorial professionals, mainly in the United States.
As well as providing services and advice online, CSE holds an annual meeting that includes short courses on topics such as journal editorship, publication management, manuscript editing, and journal metrics.
