Proofreading

Proofreading is an iterative process of comparing galley proofs against the original manuscripts or graphic artworks to identify transcription errors in the typesetting process.^[1]^[2] In the past, proofreaders would place corrections or proofreading marks along the margins.^[3] In modern publishing, material is generally provided in electronic form, traditional typesetting is no longer used and thus (in general) this kind of transcription no longer occurs.^[a]
