What qualifications do EEA members typically have?Equity Editors Association members hold graduate degrees including, but not limited to, MD, PhD, MPH, RN, and/or MSc, and have publication experience in their respective fields. They are committed to high-quality publication and communication of scientific ideas and technologies.
Once I am a member of EEA, can I edit for any of EEA's partner companies?
Each company has its own screening process that you will need to complete to be hired as an editor. Some companies may have a trial period before you are accepted as a full editor. EEA membership alone does not provide editing opportunities.
Is there someone available to answer questions or give advice on editing orders?
Depending on the company you are editing for, there may be a training system to help you familiarize yourself with the editing guidelines and standards for the company. In general, you will be expected to perform the edits without consultation with another editor. Each company will have a mechanism for quality assurance and will provide feedback if necessary.
How does EEA membership impact an editor's ability to earn income?
Each editor sets their donation from anywhere between 1-100% of their compensation. As such, EEA membership only minimally affects an editor's income unless the editor chooses to donate a larger percentage of their compensation.
What are the benefits of EEA membership?
The benefits of EEA membership include:
1) membership in a professional association of other top-notch, socially conscious editors
2) ability to earn an income while contributing to global health efforts
3) flexible hours with work and service that can be done from home or anywhere else
Can I donate to more than one beneficiary?
No, you must select a single beneficiary from among our pool. This is done so as to maximize your impact and simplify accounting.
Once I choose a percentage to donate, how often can it be changed?
You can change this at any time by contacting the for-profit partner.
How do I know where EEA revenue goes?
The beneficiaries that EEA support are required to be transparent, open-source organizations that provide online accounting of their project activities and budgets. For more details, see the beneficiary page.
