Redigeringsmessige

Redigeringsmessige is a Norwegian adjective meaning related to editing or editorial in the sense of textual preparation and revision. It is formed from the noun redigering (editing) with the suffix -messig, which indicates a characteristic or pertaining to something. The form redigeringsmessige is used when modifying a plural noun or in formal contexts; the base singular form is redigeringsmessig.

Usage and scope

The term is typically found in professional, academic, or editorial discourse about the editorial process, manuscript preparation, or publication standards. For example, phrases such as redigeringsmessige krav for manuskriptet (editing-related requirements for the manuscript), et redigeringsmessig aspekt av teksten (an editing-related aspect of the text), and redigeringsmessige vurderinger (editorial considerations) illustrate its function. It emphasizes procedural, methodological, or criteria-related aspects of editing rather than the act of editing itself.

Relations to related terms

Redigeringsmessige is related to redigering (editing), redaktør (editor), and redaksjonell (editorial, in a newsroom sense). While redigeringsmessige highlights editing-specific aspects, redaksjonell generally refers to editorial work and standards within a publication organization. In practice, speakers may prefer more common formulations such as redigeringsprosess (editing process) or redaksjonelle krav (editorial requirements) depending on nuance and register.
