Quality control against sources and standards

This branch covers checking documents against their sources and applicable standards, divided into the quality-control review, its checklist and claim-by-claim confirming documentation. Text improvement, author–reader critique, bibliographic accuracy and the wider regulatory compliance process sit outside this branch.

• Run quality control as a defined review — scope, timing, reviewer, source package, agreed terms, checking changes and safety narratives
• Assemble and build the editing checklist — checklist coverage and form, internal and source cross-checks, and building and testing items
• Confirming documentation — preparing sources and checking manuscript statements and numbers in an annotated pack, manually or electronically
