Coediting

/koʊˈɛdɪtɪŋ/ verb

Definition

The present participle of coedit; the ongoing process of two or more people working together to edit something.

Etymology

From co- + editing. The -ing suffix converts the verb into its continuous or gerund form, allowing it to function as both a verb form and a noun.

Kelly Says

Many modern magazines and academic journals now list 'coediting' in their workflows, but this practice is actually ancient—medieval monks worked in scriptoriums coediting manuscripts long before the word existed!
