We don’t like emphasising what our services don’t include but since this blog post is hopefully all about clarifying the terms we use, We figure it is best We are clear.
None of the three services include heavy rewriting or fact-checking, unless explicitly requested. If heavy rewriting is required, We would recommend a final proofread after our file has been checked and all queries and new content checked by the author.
Regardless of whether you ask for a proofreading, proof-editing or copy-editing service, We run a series of tests that include checks on consistency of proper nouns. This means we will hopefully spot anomalies in the way someone’s name is written and will do an internet search to see which is correct, but we do not externally cross-check all authors’ names in reference lists unless this is requested.
