Copyediting

Our specialist copyeditors check mathematics content for conceptual and logical errors, as well as checking grammar, readability and consistency.

They review to:

• ensure clarity, understanding, sense and fluency
• manage cultural sensitivities
• avoid gender bias or discriminatory language
• ensure the use of inclusive language.

They also prepare manuscripts by:

• formatting mathematical expressions
• ensuring conformity with house style
• creating an editorial style sheet
• applying paragraph and character styles
• creating and/or reviewing artwork briefs.

Proofreading

Proofreading plays an important role in ensuring the integrity of mathematics content. Our proofreading services include checking:

• spelling, grammar and punctuation
• design, layout and style
• formatting
• document structure
• hyperlinks and URLs
• linked components, such as tables of contents, indexes, glossaries and references.

Answer-checking

Vital for quality and accuracy, our expert answer-checking services:

• check steps in worked examples to ensure they are correct and logical
• check answers to questions and remove any ambiguity
• provide the correct solution or alternative answers where necessary.
