Proofreading is simply finding the spelling mistakes and grammatical errors to make sure that the English is correct, while editing takes the text and polishes it to improve its readability.
Science editing is split into two levels: Language Editing and Science Editing.
Language editing improves the clarity and flow of the article so that the text is clear, unambiguous, and easy to read.
Science editing includes language editing in combination with an assessment of the science to point out the strengths and weaknesses of your results, data and conclusions.
Dr Grimshaw also supplies a written report on your article and offers suggestions about how to improve your research.
