Proofreading

Proofreading is a final check after layout and design to correct any errors in the text or the visual elements.

The editor will check that:

• all components of the publication are included and in the right order
• all cross-references, page numbers and captions are correct
• grammar, spelling and punctuation are correct
• capitalisation, hyphenation, abbreviations and numbers are consistent and conform with the style guide
• heading hierarchies and other layout elements are correct.
