Copy editing and proofreading are not the same. Copyediting checks for mistakes, inconsistencies, and repetition. Whereas proofreading looks for typographical errors and formatting. While copy editing you should check for errors in grammar, misspellings and syntax. Also, look for continuity errors. While proofreading, you must look for awkward words and page breaks.

Mukesh,copy editing also includes a check for incorrect statements, the accuracy of facts, dates and names, and consistency within your work. Also, it checks technical consistency in fonts, spellings, word usage etc. If you need help contact team from https://www.enago.com/copy-editing.htm or https://www.chanakya-research.com/.

Copy editing is ensured content consistency and cohesion in a text. In simple words,it deals with a technical document. It is usually conducted once a copy is drafted. Copy editing is considered as a complex task. On the other hand, proofreading is considered as a less complex process. Proofreading usually looks into the layout formatting, references, and typographical errors within the research document.
