Editing Your Paper

Since you have now revised your paper, you should be ready to edit. Editing should occur after you have completed as many revisions as you are going to complete.  In fact, trying to edit before your paper is completely finished will only take up time on portions you might not even end up keeping in your paper.  While it is certainly acceptable to fix minor errors as you recognize them, you should save the major editing until the end – making it the last process you complete before submitting.
