About Proofreading
Proofreading means examining your text carefully to find and correct typographical errors and mistakes in grammar, style, and spelling. Here are some tips.
Before You Proofread
When You Proofread
When You Want to Learn More
Before You Proofread be sure you've revised the larger aspects of your text. Don't make corrections at the sentence and word level if you still need to work on the focus, organization, and development of the whole paper, of sections, or of paragraphs.
Set your text aside for a while (15 minutes, a day, a week) between writing and proofing. Some distance from the text will help you see mistakes more easily.
Eliminate unnecessary words before looking for mistakes. Depending on the style of writing you wish to publish, try to write clear, concise, direct sentences. Know what to look for. From the comments of your professors or a writing center instructor on past papers, make a list of mistakes you need to watch for.
When you proofread, work from a printout, not the computer screen. (See below for computer functions that can help you find some kinds of mistakes.)
Read out loud. This is especially helpful for spotting run-on sentences, but you'll also hear other problems that you may not see when reading silently.
Use a blank sheet of paper to cover up the lines below the one you're reading. This technique keeps you from skipping ahead of possible mistakes.
Use the search function of the computer to find mistakes you're likely to make. Search for "it," for instance, if you confuse "its" and "it's;" for "-ing" if dangling modifiers are a problem; for opening parentheses or quote marks if you tend to leave out the closing ones. If you tend to make many mistakes, check separately for each kind of error, moving from the most to the least important, and following whatever technique works best for you to identify that kind of mistake. For instance, read through once (backwards, sentence by sentence) to check for fragments; read through again (forward) to be sure subjects and verbs agree, and again (perhaps using a computer search for "this," "it," and "they") to trace pronouns to antecedents.
End with a spelling check, using a computer spelling checker or reading backwards word by word.
But remember that a spelling checker won't catch mistakes with homonyms (e.g., "they're," "their," "there") or certain typos (like "he" for "the").
This sounds like a lot to check doesn’t it? It is. That is why we offer our proofreading services. All of our work is proofed carefully and must meet strict proofing guidelines that were set at the highest industries levels.
Tips Before Submitting Your Manuscript To An Editor
Leave yourself plenty of time for all steps of the writing process; including editing. By making and following a timeline for the paper, you are more likely to have time to finish everything with the proper amount of care and attention.
Also, keep in mind that it may be best to lay your paper aside for a day or so before proofreading and editing; as you may be more likely to catch errors or notice structural problems if your writing isn’t so “fresh” in your mind.
Get acquainted with your resources. You don’t need to memorize every grammar or citation rule that may apply to the genre or discipline in which you’re writing—you can look them up. Take advantage of the resources available to you - dictionaries, thesauruses, handbooks, citation guides, handouts from class, librarians, and writing center consultants.
Know your weaknesses.
Keep a list of errors you tend to make: it will help you know what to look for when you edit. You can also read the paper once for each error type; if you’re only looking for one thing, you’ll be more likely to notice it.
Print a copy of your paper to use when editing and proofreading. It is much harder to catch errors on a screen than on paper.
Read your paper out loud. Often, when we read silently, our eyes skip over small errors, awkward or run-on sentences, and typos. By reading out loud, you force yourself to notice everything from spelling and word choice to the structure of sentences. You can also have someone read your paper aloud and tell you where they are confused. And read your paper backwards.
Another way to force yourself to notice small details is to take things out of context. Try reading your paper backwards, sentence by sentence or paragraph by paragraph, so that you are focusing on the text, not the ideas. This technique is especially helpful for catching sentence fragments. Be sure to check the punctuation.
Also look over the paper on a sentence-by-sentence level to see if your punctuation is correct. Are commas in the right places? Are there any run-on sentences? If you aren’t sure about how to use certain kinds of punctuation, look in a manual, explore other quicktips, and/or ask a writing consultant for help. Check the citations.
Check each in-text citation for correct format, and verify that the source is in the Works Cited or References list. This is also a good time to double-check the spelling of authors’ names, book or article titles, and so on.
Reread quotations. It is all too easy to mistype when copying words.
Get feedback from other people. Because we are such a part of what we write, it can be difficult to step outside our work and view it critically. When you seek outside opinions, you can break free of the isolation and absorption of writing and receive perspectives and insights that you may have otherwise missed.
By asking for feedback from other people, you are taking essential measures to improve your writing and to develop as a writer. Don’t rely solely on computer help. Spell check and grammar check tools are useful, but they do not constitute or substitute for proofreading. Develop and follow your own editing strategies, and don’t be fooled into thinking that computer tools alone are adequate for the job.
Rest. Relax. Reread.
Leave your paper alone for a day or two. Having some distance from what you’ve written can make your proofreader’s eye more critical and perceptive. In addition, you may find changes you would like to make after you read your text later.
