Proofreaders are professionals who meticulously read through a document to check for errors in spelling, grammar, sentence structure, punctuation and formatting. Alternatively, they can also be referred to as copy editors, who review and refine a document for clarity, tone, style, and consistency. Then there are the proofreading specialists, who ensure that the text meets industry-specific standards, such as scientific and legal jargon, and technical terminology. The proofreading process can also be carried out by a team of scrutinizers or proofing technicians, who review the document in stages to ensure that all the errors are effectively identified and rectified before publication.
