Scope Of Work

Editing terms can cause confusion between authors and editors. It is important that you know the kind of service your script requires, and the scope of work entailed in each type of editing. There may be slight differences between the scope of work involved within each type of editing across editing companies. Here are the types of editing NTP offers and their meanings. Remember that this is not set in stone and you can always contact us for clarity.

PROOFREADING (Mechanical Editing)

Proofreading services are usually the last review done on any content before it is made public for consumption. The services include reviews concerning grammar, spelling, punctuation, subject-verb agreement, capitalization, pronouns, spacing, and verb-tense consistency. NTP will ensure that your audience finds your final product grammatically perfect, clear, and pleasing to read. Other radical changes that may be expected will fall under the subsequent levels of copyediting.

COPYEDITING

Many people opt for proofreading services when what they need are copyediting services, and this is because they mistake proofreading services for copyediting services. Copyediting is a process that combines both science and art. The entire process of copyediting is an improvement of the proofreading service and it is centred around the five Cs—writing that is correct, concise, clear, complete, and consistent. This is done in various steps and details. NTP editors will ensure that the original tone of your work is not altered while improving your script. A revision-tracking system—Microsoft Word’s Track Changes feature or GoogleDocs Edit feature where changes can be reviewed by the client is used. The changes can be accepted or rejected with the click of a button.

a. Basic Copyediting

Here, the editor will go beyond proofreading the script. This level of copyediting involves the editor identifying and amending sentence and paragraph structure, replacing repetitive words with synonyms, eliminating redundant words, improving parallel structures, as well as ensuring formatting consistency.

b. Heavy Copyediting

The editor will employ a more intensive look at the meaning of each sentence in the script. This is characterised by replacing weak words, phrases, and sentences with potent alternatives. The heavy copyediting services ensure the adherence to your preferred style (i.e. The APA style, the Chicago Manual, Associated Press, etc.) of your script. NTP employs this type of editing for Academic contents, unless otherwise requested by the client.

c. Substantive Copyediting (Line Editing)

For substantive copyediting services, the editor will rewrite major portions of your document. If you need help writing your paper and not just editing, then this is the recommended type of copyediting for you. This type of editing is laborious and costly. It is important that the author reviews the edited work to ensure that the editor’s review hasn’t altered the tone and message of the paper.

d. Developmental Copyediting

The scope of work for developmental copyediting involves the editor rewriting your script while educating the author on how to write better. Think big picture. Your original content will change significantly, and there will be new content additions if the editor feels argument made in the paper are weak. New research, references, and citations may also be included. It should be noted that rewrites often alter the author’s original voice, and usually requires numerous revisions to get the content right. It is important that you budget and plan your schedule accordingly for this level of service.
