The article considers available options to educate science editors in the fast-transforming digital environment. There is no single course or resource that can cover their constantly changing and diversifying educational needs. The involvement in research, writing, and reviewing is important for gaining editing skills, but that is not all. Membership in editorial associations and access to updated scholarly information in the field are mandatory for maintaining editorial credentials. Learned associations offer access to a few widely-recognized periodicals. There are also formal training courses covering issues in science writing and ethical editing, but no high-level evidence data exist to promote any of these. Networking with like-minded specialists within the global and regional editorial associations seems a useful strategy to upgrade editorial skills and resolve problems with the quality control and digitization of scholarly periodicals.
本文探讨了在快速变革的数字环境中培养科学编辑的可行方案。没有单一的课程或资源能够满足他们不断变化和多样化的教育需求。参与研究、写作和评审对于获得编辑技能很重要，但这还不够。加入编辑协会并获取该领域最新的学术信息是维持编辑资质的必要条件。学术协会提供了一些广为人知的期刊。也有关于科学写作和伦理编辑问题的正规培训课程，但没有高级别的证据数据来推广其中任何一项。在全球和地区编辑协会内与志同道合的专家建立联系，似乎是提升编辑技能以及解决学术期刊质量控制和数字化问题的有效策略。
