High/Middle Order Concerns
High and Middle Order Concern (HOCs and MOCs) revision should focus on the "big picture" stuff. This is where you work on the organization, flow and style of your writing. Since you may find yourself rewriting during these levels of revision, it's important to not focus on proofreading during this stage. You don't want to spent too much time polishing up the errors in your writing just to find that you need to rewrite an entire paragraph. So, start with the big stuff and then after you've completed this stage, you can move on to the polishing.
The following resources can be meant to get you started on HOC and MOC revision. Do not plan to complete all of these techniques, as some will be redundant. I recommend picking one technique from the top list (general revision) and one specific issue from the bottom list (specific concerns) for each paper when you revise.
