korrektuurikontroll
Korrekuurikontroll is a publishing process that combines korrektuur (proofreading) and kontroll (quality control) to ensure the accuracy, consistency, and readability of a text before publication. The term is used in Estonian-language publishing and in multilingual editorial workflows to describe an integrated stage that follows substantive edits and precedes typesetting and final formatting.
During korrekruutikontroll, editors and proofreaders verify spelling, grammar, punctuation, and typography, while also checking for consistency
