Q. 我翻譯後的文件已經過校稿，還需要編修服務嗎?
校稿和編修的定義總是很模糊，對很多人來說，他們是一樣的意思。但事實上，卻存在著很大的差異。當一份文件校稿時間為一小時，編修可能得花上三小時，甚至更久。究竟校稿和編修有什麼不同?
編修和校稿的差異
校稿基本上是找尋寫作上的錯誤，在您將文章提供給閱讀者前(如教授、出版社等)，修正文法及排字。文字上的意思及專業術語跟校稿是無關的，僅對文字正確性做修正。
英文編修是修改及重整的過程，讓文章通順而適於發表。編修包括了修改您文章的拼字錯誤、文法錯誤、不當用詞、連貫性、風格、一般排版、特殊排版( APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.) 例如：圖表、引用、目錄、文獻、註釋等。

五步驟快速校稿技巧 幫助您完成一個零錯誤的文稿
Submit an Error-Free Manuscript: 5 Proofreading Tips for Researchers
Proofreading errors leave a negative impression with the editor and the referee. Small mistakes and oversights in a manuscript often lead to misinterpretation or confuse the reader.
In this article, we illustrate the common language and formatting errors that authors are likely to spot when they proofread a manuscript. The list of errors is followed by 5 simple tips on how authors can avoid such errors in future.
This article will help you identify errors in your writing and submit an error-free copy to the journal.
What does proofreading mean?
To proof means to examine text carefully to find and correct typographical errors and errors in punctuation and spelling. Thus, proofreading is the process of checking text to ensure that it reads correct and is ready for publication
Why is proofreading important?
An instructor has quite humorously, but aptly, pointed out the effects of bad proofreading:
Turning in a paper with bad proofreading is like going to a party, dressed in your finest but without having brushed your teeth that morning. Basically, bad proofreading makes you look careless and dumb, which you are not.
On a more serious note, a number of manuscripts that are returned after peer review include referee comments such as
Please check the spellings in the manuscript carefully.
A number of grammatical errors are still evident in the manuscript.
English writing needs to be improved; the manuscript still contains language errors.
Besides leaving a negative impression with the editor and the referee, small mistakes and oversights often lead to misinterpretation or confuse the reader. For instance, a typographical error in the concluding sentence of a study could reduce the overall impact of the entire study.

英文編輯對研究人員有什麼樣的幫助？
想想你是試著說服某本期刊你的研究對於科學界會產生重大影響的研究人員。但他們拒絕了你的研究，原因就只因為你的完成手稿有錯。這是不是很有可能的事？
語言、一致性、選字等的錯誤反應出作者某種程度的粗心，而且可能會讓論文審查人懷疑你的研究是否真的值得在國際期刊上發表。
此外，國際期刊在發表特定研究方面有他們自己一套嚴格的判斷規則。他們的審查委員會由專精於快速判斷出某篇特定文章是否適合期刊目標讀者閱讀的人員所組成。這表示打算發表在期刊上的手稿，必須完全符合該期刊訂下的規則和指示。
再者，期刊編輯覺得格式正確、沒有語焉不詳且結構良好的手稿更容易閱讀，並因此更容易理解。當他們的想法不是在注意你的手稿的錯誤，而是在研究本身時，你可以放心的是你的研究被接受出版的機率將會大幅提高。
請記得，你花在修改論文的每一分錢都值得，因為首先它消除了你心中的疑慮，並讓你安心寫出你的想法，第二，它可以讓你有更多時間專心撰寫論文，而不是將時間花在擔心你的撰寫品質上。論文發表後，對你的鼓舞超乎你的想像，這樣能激勵你越寫越多。第一次撰寫的作者和職業作者之間的差別只在於有沒有一個好的編輯。請立即與我們聯絡，這樣你寫出的內容會得到你應該受到的重視。
