Types of Editing*
Structural / Substantive
Clarifying or reorganizing a document for content and structural flow. May include suggestions about document design or strategies for further content development.
Stylistic
Clarifying meaning, eliminating jargon, polishing language, improving sentence flow, and other non-mechanical line-by-line editing.
Copyediting
Editing for grammar, usage, spelling, punctuation, and other mechanics of style; checking for consistency of mechanics (including citation formatting) and for internal consistency of facts; reviewing head levels and approximate placement of art; editing tables, figures, and lists.
Proofreading
Checking already copyedited material for minor, mechanical errors (e.g. spelling mistakes or small internal inconsistencies) and for adherence to formatting requirements.
