proofreadings
Manuscript error checks
Proofreadings are instances of reviewing text for errors before publication or finalization.
The plural emphasizes multiple passes or separate review sessions: After three proofreadings, we still found typos.
It can also refer to marked-up documents returned from reviewers: The proofreadings came back with conflicting corrections.
