Copy Editing

Copy editing looks at documents to ensure they are correct and consistent throughout on a mechanical level. It typically occurs at the end of the editing process, right before a document is ready to go to a publisher to be typeset. Copy editing tasks include things like:

  • correcting spelling, grammar, and punctuation;
  • checking word choice and variation;
  • making sure the document follows a specified style guide/sheet;
  • ensuring consistency in formatting (headings, numberings, abbreviations, etc.)
