There is a significant difference between proofreading and editing. If a student receives proofreading support via the DSA, then the following principles will be adhered to:

A proofreading service will:  identify spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors  highlight problems with layout, font, number style, etc.  identify errors in labelling of diagrams, charts, or figures  highlight areas where the intended meaning is not clear  identify repeated phrases or omitted words  highlight inconsistencies with referencing A proofreading service will not:  change the writing style of the student  rewrite passages of text to clarify the meaning or correct logic errors  change any words, except to correct spelling  amend any errors in factual data (facts, numbers, etc.)  check or rewrite calculations, formulae, equations, or computer code  rearrange or reformat passages of text  contribute any additional material to the original text  re-label diagrams, charts, or figures Anglia Ruskin Transcription Centre
