Copy editing is editing to ensure correctness, accuracy, consistency, and completeness (Editors Canada).
This service is a deep edit that makes your manuscript ready for initial submission.

It includes all the elements of the Essential Editing/Proofreading editing service but also may make the text consistent in terms of spelling, punctuation, and usage.
Also includes stylistic editing, which is editing to clarify meaning, ensure coherence and flow, and refine the language (Editors Canada).
Stylistic editing, also called line editing, is performed at the sentence and paragraph level to ensure the language and tone are appropriate for the intended audience. Editing includes changes in word use and sentence structure to clarify meaning while preserving your authorial voice. Copyediting plus also includes rearranging small items such as figures and tables if necessary within the manuscript, correcting and commenting on organization, and ensuring that the text is highly readable and ready for publication without further editing. Copy editing does not usually include heavy rewriting, formatting, or fact checking.

This type of editing is good for a variety of texts. It is primarily intended for documents that will not undergo further editing before publication. It is also appropriate for research manuscripts that need a heavier edit that includes reorganization.
