What is Online Proofreading?

The Online Proofreading (OP) platform is an interface that can help both authors and internal MDPI employees to make the proofreading process more efficient. The Online Proofreading platform not only provides a safer and more convenient platform for proofreading articles, but also precisely documents all changes made by different parties during the proofreading process, as well as creating all the necessary versions of an article.

What are the key functionalities of the Online Proofreading platform?

• Track Changes: Track content modification such as deletions, insertions, and adjustments;
• Comment: Communicate between authors and internal MDPI AEs/PrEs, whose comments must be responded to;
• Reference Editors: Adjust the content or order of references;
• Mathematical Equation Editor: Adjust mathematical equations;
• Table Editor: Adjust the layout, structure, or content of tables.

* The functionalities are described in more detail in the manual.
