A careful final check for an already edited manuscript
Proofreading is designed for manuscripts whose structure and language have already been finalised. The proofreader corrects typographical errors, grammar slips, punctuation issues, spacing, numbering, and visible inconsistencies without making broad stylistic or structural changes. It is the final quality step before a file is submitted or published.
What this service includes
- Typographical, spelling, grammar, and punctuation corrections
- Headings, numbering, cross-references, and caption checks
- Spacing, capitalisation, hyphenation, and style consistency
- Basic citation and reference-list consistency review
