Make sure that the text is clear, makes sense and flows well and that information is not missing or unnecessarily repeated.
Check that illustrations, tables and captions are correctly presented and matched.

Check for potential legal problems; check for offensive material not related to the content, incitement to hatred and possible plagiarism

Re-check for consistency in spelling, grammar and usage after correcting.
Check for consistency in font sizes, spacing and alignment.
Check for pagination and incorrect or awkward hyphenation, word and paragraph breaks.
Check for errors of fact. In other words we will check your research.
Check that page numbers are correct and consecutive.
Check that page numbers and chapter headings match contents table and indices.

All factual information in the manuscript will also be checked for accuracy.
