This article is about the detection and correction of transcription errors in typeset work. For proofreading in DNA replication, see Proofreading (biology). For identification of errors in grammar or spelling, see Copy editing. For the song, see Proofread (song).
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.[lower-alpha 1]
