Editorial analysis of the text is carried out in the following sequence:
- Determination of the target readership to which the text is intended.
- Refinement of the author's intention.
- Identifying the correspondence between the topic and the idea (is the topic correctly identified?).
- Defining editing tasks.
- The division of the author's text into semantic parts, the identification of logical connections between them (is there any escape from the topic, semantic contradictions?), Drawing up a plan.
- Analysis of the structural parts of the text, the selection of key words and basic judgments, taking into account the specifics of the text and the peculiarities of the author's style of presentation (how justified are judgments, whether there are false conclusions and hasty generalizations).
