What is the difference between revision and editing?
Revision is a term indicating a process which examines the organization of a paper or document. During revision we are challenging the relationship of the paragraphs to each other, and the conclusion to the body of the paper, and finally whether the beginning does in fact anticipate what the paper did. During revision we are not interested in correctness. Revision is separate from and comes before editing. Editing occurs when a manuscript is checked for correctness in spelling, punctuation, grammar and clarity. Editing is the last thing undertaken before the document is sent to its intended audience.
