Proofreading
Goes beyond “spellcheck” to catch errors a computer
might miss
Ensures zero grammatical errors, usually after a
document has already been edited
Copyediting
In-depth process
Proofreading with an added expertise in ensuring
style consistency appropriate to a publication or
organization
13 A copyeditor:

1.Checks for and corrects errors in grammar, spelling, syntax, and


punctuation.
2.Checks for technical consistency in spelling, capitalization, font
usage, numerals, hyphenation. For example, is it ‘post-operative’ on
page 2 and ‘postoperative’ on page 4? Or do you use both British and
American English spelling variations interchangeably, such as
favourable vs. favorable?
3.Checks for continuity errors and makes sure that all loose ends are
tied.
4.Checks for factually incorrect statements. The copyeditor must
check if the facts in your manuscript, such as drug names, species
names, etc., are accurate.
5.Checks for a potential legal liability. The copyeditor verifies that your
manuscript does not libel others.
6.Checks for inconsistency within the story. This includes character
description, plot points, and setting. Does each character stay true to
its own description throughout the story? Are there conflicting
descriptions of the study? For example, have you described the study
as ‘retrospective’ on one page but ‘prospective’ on another page?

SlidesCarnival icons are editable


shapes.

This means that you can:


● Resize them without losing
quality.
● Change line color, width and
style.

Isn’t that nice? :)

Examples:

Diagrams and infographics

Now you can use any emoji as an icon!


And of course it resizes without losing quality and you can change
the color.
