Copy Editing


Nakshatra editors are well-versed in handling a variety of contents in different domains to improve accuracy, readability and enhance quality of the content, as in what follows:

Nakshatra editors review the content for errors in spelling, grammar, syntax, punctuation, and formatting. We also review and suggest improvements to the clarity, flow, and organization of the text and ensure that the text adheres to the style guide of the publication. They may also check for consistency in spelling, hyphenation, and word choice, as well as adherence to accepted standards of usage. In addition, they may verify facts, check for the accuracy of references, and suggest changes in accordance with the publisher's house style. 

Pre-editing (aka Technical Editing)


Nakshatra team provides pre-editing services for clients who copyedit their content in-house. We clean up and format raw manuscripts and clear obvious formatting errors and other inconsistencies and make them ready for copyediting. Our editors are familiar with various style specifications that include APA, Chicago Manual of Style (CMS), etc. to format references, cross-reference citations, equations, tables, and figures; we also identify references not cited in the text and then raise queries on the styled word document before passing on to the copyediting team. This saves time at the customer end, enabling them to focus on style or other more specific, value-added edits.

Language Editing


Nakshatra editors are trained to determine the relative importance of words and concepts and thereby assess raw source data and process analytical editing based on their expertise. We also inquire about the intent of the author and provide clear and logical solutions for the context and use jargon or technical terms appropriate for the context.
