Types of proofreading

The types of collations are as follows:

Calibration method

Proofreading is a proofreading method that proofreads proofs according to the original manuscript, so that the words and symbols on proofreading are completely consistent with the original manuscript, and all arrangement errors that are inconsistent with the original manuscript are eliminated. It is the main method and the basis of proofreading all kinds of publications.

Proofreading is characterized by comparing the original manuscript, proofreading word by word, finding out the similarities and differences between the proofreading manuscript and the original manuscript, and based on the original manuscript, eliminating differences while reserving similarities to ensure that the original intention of the manuscript is correctly copied into printed samples.

School law

Our school's method is to find problems and correct mistakes by verifying the contents of this book before and after proof reading. The law of our school requires proofreaders to have rich experience and strong ability to distinguish mistakes, otherwise, in the process of operation, there will often be a phenomenon of paying attention to one thing and losing another.

The characteristic of our school's law is that we must compare the relevant contents according to the internal relations of this book, including the proofreading of the catalogue and the outline, the correction of the text by the catalogue, the comparison of the text and the picture, the comparison of the text and the annotation, and the matching of the terms and concepts. By comparison, we can find problems and correct mistakes.

It can not only eliminate the omission of proofreading and improve the quality of proofreading, but also play the role of editing and processing. The problems found through proof reading are, first, checking the original manuscript, and second, finding the basis through other proofreading methods. After the error is confirmed, it will be modified.

Other school methods

Other proofreading methods are a proofreading method that compares books with various standards and norms with the manuscripts of our school, finds out the nonstandard and irregular places and corrects them. In school, the methods used by other schools are mostly ancient books, scientific and technological books and works books. Usually use reference books such as Ci Hai, Ci Yuan and Modern Chinese Dictionary to correct words.

The characteristic of other school laws is to confirm mistakes through several reconsideration books. Therefore, proofreaders are required to know something about the new standards and norms and be quite familiar with authoritative reference books, so as to solve problems quickly and accurately by this method.

Proofreading method

Proofreading is a proofreading method that proofreaders use their own knowledge to analyze and reason and judge whether the manuscript is right or wrong in the reading process. Duan Yucai said: "The so-called school management is also necessary without ancient documents or several books that are different from each other and are at a loss." That is to say, there is no basis for finding problems (including the differences between several books and the differences between the front and back of this book) when reading through the proofs, so we can only use the "proofreading method" to judge right and wrong.
