How to become a research editor?

Research editors usually have a bachelor’s degree in a field that involves a lot of writing, such as English, journalism, or communication, though not all positions require a degree. Some enter the field by writing extensively on a variety of topics or they may focus on one particular area and working on getting them published. Practice researching a topic and proofreading and fact-checking other written works to find errors. Once you have established your writing style and built a substantial portfolio of published pieces, you can seek research editor positions. You can choose to pursue full-time positions at publications or large organizations that publish lots of industry materials, or you can work as an independent contractor for several different organizations.
