Inevitably, any pre-published or pre-submitted material (i.e. student assignments) will contain mistakes, regardless of how careful the author has been. Authors will rarely be editors themselves as they are too close to their work, leaving mistakes unchecked. A second set of unbiased, objective and professional eyes can eliminate these errors before they are published or submitted, and suggest amendments for more professional communication.
