The Board of Editors in the Life Sciences (BELS) is a professional organization that awards credentials to exemplary manuscript editors in the life sciences (e.g., medicine, biology, agriculture). Here, the term "manuscript editor" refers to both authors' editors and editors employed by academic publishers (often called copy editors or editor-in-chief). Individuals who demonstrate excellence in editing and an understanding of the ethical principles of publishing—both of which are assessed through a certification exam—are awarded the title Editor in the Life Sciences and may use the initials ELS after their names. BELS also allows use of its electronic badge by BELS-certified editors (those who have passed its certification examinations).

  • The Board of Editors in the Life Sciences (BELS) is a professional organization that awards credentials to exemplary manuscript editors in the life sciences (e.g., medicine, biology, agriculture). Here, the term "manuscript editor" refers to both authors' editors and editors employed by academic publishers (often called copy editors or editor-in-chief). Individuals who demonstrate excellence in editing and an understanding of the ethical principles of publishing—both of which are assessed through a certification exam—are awarded the title Editor in the Life Sciences and may use the initials ELS after their names. BELS also allows use of its electronic badge by BELS-certified editors (those who have passed its certification examinations). BELS was founded in 1991 and offers certification examinations several times each year at various locations across the United States and in other countries. In 2020, the Board of Editors in the Life Sciences also began offering the examination via Prometric, a global testing service provider. The exam is available quarterly each year, with the option to test at a Prometric site or via remote assessment. Once certified and as a member in good standing, BELS members can access other members' contact information, job openings, and links to similar editorial associations through the BELS website. All organizational functions of BELS are performed by volunteers among its members. (en)
