The writer is trying to find out the processes that editors use to perform their work and to understand why they make the changes they make when they are proof reading, revising, and improving the writing of others.
The researchers conducted a case study to get the answers to their questions. Their subjects were three experienced editors and three less experienced editors to determine if their style of editing correlated with their experience. The subjects were further divided on their view of what revising is. Some took a normative perspective, while others took a communicational perspective. The data was organized into tables.
Unlike professional editors usually don’t read to grasp their assignment because they receive it almost orally from their clients.
