redagavim

Redagavim is the process of editing text to improve clarity, coherence, accuracy, and suitability for publication. In many editing traditions, redagavim encompasses both substantive changes to content and linguistic refinement, and it is usually guided by the work’s purpose, audience, and style requirements. In Lithuanian usage, redagavim denotes the act or practice of editing, often performed by editors, writers, or researchers.

The scope of redagavim includes multiple levels of work. Substantive editing involves reorganizing structure, refining arguments, and ensuring logical flow. Copyediting focuses on grammar, punctuation, word choice, consistency, and compliance with a chosen style guide. Line editing targets sentence level clarity and tone, while proofreading addresses surface errors and formatting. Redagavim is distinct from redaction, which means obscuring or removing sensitive information, though the terms can overlap in practice.

The typical redagavim process begins with a manuscript assessment and an editorial brief, followed by revision planning, content edits, and fact-checking. Editors verify citations and check quotations, ensure consistency of terms, and align the text with editorial standards and legal or ethical requirements. The final stage involves proofreading, layout checks, and obtaining author or client approval.

Tools commonly used in redagavim include word processors with track changes, style guides, fact-checking resources, and collaborative platforms. Ethical considerations emphasize accuracy, integrity, confidentiality, and respect for the author’s voice and intent. Redagavim is widely employed in publishing, journalism, academia, and governmental or corporate communications.
