Printing & Publishing
Proofreading/Editing
In order to publish a book on, let’s say the history of art - after the text is written by the author, it is given to the specialist in this field, for example, a professor in the Academy of Fine Arts, who checks if all information is true, correct – so he/she does not check the style, typos, grammar etc., but the correctness of information.
Does anyone know what this would be in English?

: I do agree though a "content" also refers to guys being focused on correcting grammatical, spelling, style, and punctuation errors // Jest OK! Czytaj Franka za 4 pewnoście - tam, natywne zrodlo podaje "content" jako zasób do korekty merytorycznej.

subject research and fact checking

After a series of recent controversies over fact-checking in book publishing, the question of accuracy is facing more scrutiny than ever. Becoming known as the focus of a book fact-checking controversy is the wrong kind of publicity for any author—and newer authors looking to establish themselves have even more to prove. In self-publishing, the accountability for fact-checking falls squarely on the author (as with just about every other step of the publishing process), and often traditional publishing companies leave the author just as responsible for the accuracy of their work—including any legal consequences. Part of being an author is making sure your information is accurate, - https://www.ingramspark.com/blog/fact-checking-tips-for-indi...

Who is responsible for checking the facts?
When self-publishing, it is first the writer’s responsibility to check facts. This is also in the writer’s interest – no one wants to rewrite large portions of their book in order to accommodate a change in a fact picked up at a later stage. Researching and fact checking is an important part of the writing process, and ultimately the responsibility of the factual correctness of the book rests with the writer.
Copy-editors are not responsible for the factual correctness of a manuscript. However, a copy-editor may do some basic fact-checking as part of their service of names, places and other easily checked facts. If an error is found, the copy-editor may mark that it needs to be checked (and they may make a suggestion of what to change it to), but it is up to the author to check and correct. Copy-editors are not experts in all areas and will not always know if a tool is being used incorrectly or the local policeman’s uniform should have been black, not blue. So unless it is part of the agreement, and is included in the budget, then copy-editors assume that the author has already carried out a thorough check of the facts.
If you are publishing through a traditional publisher, then fact checking is important before it goes to the publisher. Fact checking has not always been standard practice with publishers (though some publishers may do it).

technical editing
Aren’t there even more than four kinds of editing, though?
Yes—have mercy—there are. Other editing terms that you may have come across include line editing (for the fluidity and rhythm of your prose), sensitivity editing (for bias, inclusivity, etc.), technical editing (for technical correctness—reserved for instruction manuals and other such documents), manuscript critiquing (a one-pass global review of your book), fact checking (often lumped in with copy editing, but actually a separate task altogether) and textual editing (which groups all four levels in one phrase).
https://www.janefriedman.com/comprehensive-guide-to-finding-...
Technical editing may include the correction of grammatical mistakes, misspellings, mistyping, incorrect punctuation, inconsistencies in usage, poorly structured sentences, wrong scientific terms, wrong units and dimensions, inconsistency in significant figures, technical ambivalence, technical disambiguation, statements conflicting with general scientific knowledge, correction of synopsis, content, index, headings and subheadings, correcting data and chart presentation in a research paper or report, and correcting errors in citations.
It helps if the technical editor is familiar with the subject being edited. The "technical" knowledge that an editor gains over time while working on a particular product or technology does give the editor an edge over another who has just started editing content related to that product or technology. But essential general skills are attention to detail, the ability to sustain focus while working through lengthy pieces of text on complex topics, tact in dealing with writers, and excellent communication skills.

scientific and academic editing
In appropriate contexts:
While copy editing polishes your document for publication, scientific & scholarly editing analyzes your work critically. Expert academic editors holding Doctorate degrees in your research area will provide a pre-publication content review of your document and complete an evaluation form. In their evaluation, they will identify major strengths and weaknesses in your manuscript, its significance and interest to the research community, and make recommendations for improvement among other areas. The identity of both the author and editor will be anonymous during this review to receive an unbiased review to improve your submission.

Content reviewers review, edit, and proofread online or printed content. Before a company can publish content, such as ads, email templates, written text, and other online information, a content reviewer is in charge of ensuring that the material is accurate, high-quality, free of errors, and appropriate for the intended audience. You work closely with content writers and editors, and your review may be the final step before the text is published. As a content reviewer, you may work in the office setting or remotely, and may be on the staff or work freelance on a short- or long-term contract basis.

I am inclined to go with Professional Reviewer.
A line editor focuses on the writing style in context to the time period and setting of the book...
He or she is not a professor, actually, but who knows :)
