- Editing conventions
- Research reports versus materials for laypeople
- Jargon
- Patient-friendly language
- Statistics
- Reference lists

I understand editor's role and significance in QA process, in most cases a new translation at editing/proofing rate. That is why I prefer translation. I have two kids to support. Maybe ten years later, I will take on an editor's role like you. It is not for money, but the sense of accomplishments in delivering a perfect or near-perfect translation.BTW, why don't you add a Share Via LinkedIn option? I prefer it.
I have now added a button for sharing this post via LinkedIn. I will add it to all new posts from now on.
