NOTE: these rates are not set in stone and are only an average for this editor. The actual rate applicable to your document will depend on the depth of the edit, the quality of the writing, the topic matter, the proximity of the deadline, the length of the document and several other factors.
I have been translating, writing, and editing scientific and technical documents for almost 15 years. I currently work as a technical editor-writer at a national laboratory, where I edit and rewrite complex documentation written by prominent scientists and engineers, with whom I interact on a daily basis. This documentation is written for submission to the Department of Energy and Congress and spans the full spectrum of basic and applied science, from particle physics and computations to nuclear engineering and biochemistry. Some of the research about which I write is so cutting edge that often no other documentation about it exists outside of that written by the individual scientist.
