In order to finalize a paper you have a lot of things you need to do. Reading the paper out loud to yourself is a good thing. When you read it out loud to yourself you can find many errors this way. You can actually hear the mistakes that you have made.
You also need to check for punctuation and spelling errors, spellcheck does not always catch every spelling error.
The writer needs to make sure that the sentences have a nice flow to them and that they do not have run on sentences.
A peer review can also help in finding things we may not see. I know from experience that after working on a paper for several hours and days that if I leave it alone for a while and then go back to it, I will reword it or find mistakes that I could not find before.
Writing takes time and effort. You cannot just write and expect it to be great if you do not take the time to make sure you have gotten all the bugs out.
I hope this tidbit of information helps to those of you who plan to write a paper.
