Abstract
This paper analyses the current state of science editing in Russia. We describe the characteristics of science editing and the reputation of scholarly journals in Russia. We surveyed non-teaching staff, students and professionals in Moscow and analysed statistical information of the Scientific Electronic Library (Moscow, Russia). We present the main subject categories, number of published journals, major Russian publishers, research performance assessment, and problems encountered by authors and editors in Russia. Information distributed by Russian scholarly journals is credible. Better quality editorial work can improve the reputation of a Russian journal further. Cooperation with EASE could be instrumental in improving the quality of science editing
