The “KSJ Science Editing Handbook” aims to draw lessons from those who specialize in science writing and editing — to provide their insights, knowledge, tips, and resources to all editors. The goal is to help ensure that science journalism meets the highest standards of quality no matter what the publication or the audience. This handbook is a project of the Knight Science Journalism Fellowship at MIT, supported by the Kavli Foundation and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education.

The Brazilian edition in Portuguese was launched by the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas with the support of the Serrapilheira Institute. It was translated and adapted by a team of Brazilian journalists: André Biernath, Juliane Duarte, Mariana Lenharo and Meghie Rodrigues.
