Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Lektorat und Korrektur einer Diplomarbeit?

What is the difference between editing and proofreading a thesis?

The difference between editing and proofreading a thesis lies in the depth of the text editing. While proofreading primarily corrects formal errors such as spelling and grammar, editing also includes stylistic and content optimization. A typical proofreading of a thesis includes:

  • Linguistic and stylistic revision
  • Suggestions for improving the expression
  • Optimization of sentence structure and reading flow
  • Notes on ambiguities in content (without interfering with the content)

If you want to produce not only error-free work but also linguistically convincing work, you will benefit from proofreading.
