Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is copy editing?

Copy editing refers to refining a document’s content for clarity and readability while focusing less on the big picture, and more on the details of language on a sentence-by-sentence basis. It involves checking for accuracy, consistency, and errors in grammar, spelling, syntax, and punctuation. A copyeditor will also check if correct subject-specific terminology is used, whether academic writing conventions are followed, and the accuracy of information contained within your academic manuscript, e.g., names of equipment and instruments, event dates, and other factual data. Compared to your originally submitted manuscript, your copyedited document will mainly show enhancements in language and grammar, as well as consistency in style, and sentence structure.
