Proofreading
At TME, we perform thorough yet noninvasive proofreading. Proofreading is the process of doing minimal edits before publication.
For proofreading, we focus on:
-
Grammar
-
Syntax
-
Punctuation
-
Spelling
-
Capitalization
Further review and in-depth editing is done with copyediting or line editing.
Copyediting
At TME, it is our best practice to do a thorough and detailed copyediting. For copyediting, we check your manuscript's internal consistency and edit with adherence to the style guide provided. Otherwise, we use the Chicago Manual of Style as our default reference.
Line Editing
TME's line editing involves an extensive line by line review of the manuscript with high concentration on the manuscript's adherence to the style guide provided. With line editing, TME ensures the consistency of the flow and development of the manuscript on top of performing fact and plagiarism checking, and finishing it with proofreading before it is sent to our quality assurance manager. Our line editing also includes a short critique highlighting your manuscript’s strengths and weaknesses.
