“Professional Editing Strategies Used by Six Editors” by Jocelyne Bisaillon.
1. What is the writer trying to find out more about through their research (what research question guides their work)?
The writer is trying to find out why people choose to self-edit instead of seeking the assistance of a professional editor. He also wants to understand what really happens in a situation involving revision.
2. What is the research methodology of this article (how do they collect their information, and how do they analyze the information they collect)?
The researchers conduct an experiment with inexperienced and well-seasoned editors. Protocol analysis was used to determine each of the editors’ strategies for editing.
3. How does professional editing differ from how students revise their own work?
Professional editors give an objective view of the work. They provide responses for the piece that the writer’s audience would possibly feel incomprehensible towards. However, editors don’t completely understand the original viewpoint of the writer. The writer could possibly lose the true meaning of what was intended in the work.
