Revising and reviewing a document

This branch covers scrutiny of an existing draft, divided by the kind of review: editing its text, checking it against sources and standards, exchanging individual critique and coordinating several reviewers. It leaves initial drafting, collaborative authorship, bibliographic accuracy, reporting-guideline selection, detailed sentence repairs and wider regulatory-document management to neighbouring concerns.

• Editing a draft pass by pass — editing principles, ordered revision, analytical editing, microediting and proofreading
• Quality control against sources and standards — the defined quality review, checklists and claim-by-claim confirming documentation
• Critique between a reader and an author — requesting a reading, agreeing its remit and giving usable comments
• Running a review among several reviewers — establishing a process, briefing reviewers, organising comments and resolving disagreement
