EASE India webinar: Analysing an Academic Manuscript

Wednesday, 10 July 2024, 2.30 pm (IST) / 10.00 am (BST)

India is a major editorial service provider for academic authors. And there has been an increasing trend towards becoming freelance copyediting professionals. In this background, it is important for copyeditors to understand that quality is a subjective concept and to be able to assess the level of editing required for a manuscript at the negotiation stage in order to derive a fair price for their service.

This session will bring together two important components: (i) the four Cs of copyediting, namely, correctness, consistency, coherence and clarity and (ii) the three levels of editorial intervention, namely, standard, intermediate and substantial. By mapping the four Cs and the three levels, this session will help copyeditors assess a manuscript and estimate their efforts for a new project.

This is free and open to all.
