Proofreading
Proofreading is the final stage of the editing process, focusing on surface
errors such as misspellings and mistakes in grammar and punctuation. You
should proofread only after you have finished all of your other editing
revisions.
Why
proofread? Is proofreading the same thing as editing?
Not exactly.
Although many people use the terms interchangeably, proofreading and editing
are two different stages of the revision process. Both demand close and
careful reading, but they focus on different aspects of the writing and
employ different techniques.
Content is
important. But like it or not, the way a paper looks affects the way others
judge it. When you have worked hard to develop your ideas and present
them for others on paper, you do not want careless errors distracting
your reader from what you have to say. It is worth paying attention to
the details that help you to make a good impression.
What
can we do for you?
Most people devote only a few minutes to proofreading, hoping to catch
any glaring errors that jump out from the page. But a quick and cursory
reread, especially after you have been working long and hard on a paper,
usually misses a lot.
We try to help you with this situation. Keeping the editing and proofreading
processes separated is our focus in each translation. In this way, we
offer you a quality proofreading service to provide a clear and convincing
documentation in Indonesian, Malay, English, and Tetum.
