On Quality Evaluation and Management of Proofread of Scientific Periodicals
Rong Chang Fu · Journal of Chongqing Institute of Technology Management · 2000
It is suggested to conduct an overall evaluation for proofread from the aspects of quality index and quantity index. Quality index includes error rate, format layout and correcting. Each of them takes 80%, 10% and 10% of the whole work. Quantity index is decided by the number of words proofread. As each proofread has different features and difficulties, the number of words proofread in the first, second and third proof should be discounted according to the rate: 35 :30 : 35. The effective management approach of promoting proofread quality is to establish study system for proofreaders, target management system and product acceptance system.
