Though HIGS was the leading PhD assistance service provider, we afford the best Proofreading and editing service. Proofreading is a vital part of the writing process that involves analyzing a written document to identify and rectify grammar, punctuation, spelling, and vocabulary errors. Proofreading and editing both seem to be the same but they are different Processes with different goals.
Proofreading is the very last step of the writing process and it ensures that the document is free from errors and well-versed to a high standard. Editing is the process that comes before proofreading. Editing should be done before proofreading so that the document will be utmost error-free and eligible for proofreading. You may have noticed that proofreaders and editors, instruct you again and again that you should not rely entirely on your proofreading because no matter how many times you check there will invariably be errors you miss.
By hiring a Proofreading service, you can find and eliminate errors. A “new pair of eyes” will help you to identify all the mistakes in a document that you missed. The advantage of using the HIGS proofreading service is that we have experienced proofreaders who are experts in rectifying mistakes in grammar, spelling, punctuation and vocabulary.
Editing and Proofreading are essential in research paper Writing Processes. It should be done before the publication of a research paper. Proofreading and editing will help to improve the effectiveness and clarity of writing and make the content concise, precise and error-free.
The Editing focuses on the effectiveness of the structure, content, language, grammar, syntax, punctuation, spelling, headings, graphs, tables, lists, numbers and style of the document. There are three phases in the Editing Process such as 1. Structural editing 2. Line editing 3. Technical editing. The Editing process involves ordering and balancing chapters, ensuring coherence in the presentation of information, and providing completeness and effectiveness in heading hierarchy.
Editing services require greater effort from an editor than proofreading services from a proofreader because the editing primarily aims to improve the academic quality of your manuscript. Hence, editing services usually involve improvements in the content such as deleting or changing words or sentences or even paragraphs, enhancing the overall structure of content, quality of the findings and analysis, simplicity, referencing, and format of the manuscript.
Proofreading is done at the last stage of Editing and it’s a crucial process. Proofreading is the final inspection of the entire document after completing the layout and design to correct any typographical errors in the text. It focuses on correcting errors in writing, capitalization, abbreviation, punctuation, symbols, equations, word usage, charts, graph labelling, headers and footers. Proofreaders clear up misunderstandings and ensure that your message is clear and consistent.
Proofreading also involves checking that all components of the publication are included and in the correct order, all cross-references, captions and page numbers are correct.It is extremely important to proofread your manuscript because errors in written works cause misunderstanding and cause damage to the writer’s reputation. You can easily catch others' mistakes, but rarely your own. Therefore hiring proofreaders for proofreading your document is a better choice.
Usually, most of us think that editing and proofreading are similar, but actually, they are two entirely different processes that should be applied at various stages before the publication process. The main difference lies in the goal of the process, the focus on the task, scope and limitations, application in the stage of writing, file type and format used, typical tools, cost and perspective.
