Types of Editing
Substantive Editing
Substantive editing requires the editor to consider a document’s concept, use, content, organization, design, and style. The purpose is to make the document functional for its readers, not just to make it correct and consistent. Substantive editing requires analysis, skill, time, and often changes to the author’s material.Recommended changes are reviewed and discussed with the author—final decisions always rest with the author.
A substantive edit deals with the actual structureof an author’s work:
- Is the material presented logically?
- Is the material coherent from start to finish?
- Is the material’s information/data verified and adequate?
- Is the material’s table of contents, internal headings, and index useful?
- Is the material concise—more for reports, research, and manuscripts than prose.
- Is the material’s use of jargon or technical terms appropriate for the intended audience
Copy Editing
Copy editing is rules-based and concerned with grammar, spelling, punctuation, and other mechanics of style and the internal consistency of facts and presentation.
Which Is Best?
Substantive editing is recommended for most works because of it’s comprehensive nature.
