Peer Review Word Document Questions
[edit]Article you are reviewing: Microgadus tomcod (Dkwillsey)
1. First, what does the article do well? Is there anything from your review that impressed you? Any turn of phrase that described the subject in a clear way?
- User Dkwillsey does a good job expanding upon the information that was already present in the article.
2. What changes would you suggest the author apply to the article? Why would those changes be an improvement?
- I would suggest that the user know how to do citations because the information he is adding to the article was confusing to read at first. I’m not 100% sure what source goes to the information he is adding to the article, but I assume it’s those provided that just aren’t cited.
3. What's the most important thing the author could do to improve the article?
- The actual Microgadus tomcod page was very short and it had little organization. The user could go through the lead section and break it apart into sections that will organize the article better.
4. Did you notice anything about the article you reviewed that could be applicable to your own article? If so, what?
- No, I did not.
5. Are the sections organized well, in a sensible order? Would they make more sense presented some other way (chronologically, for example)? Specifically, does the information they are adding to the article make sense where they are putting it?
- Yes, besides the fact that the big article does not have many sections, User Dkwillsey picked a completely logical place to put his information. It does a great job at expanding the article, yet keeping the same organization and flow of the article.
6. Is each section's length equal to its importance to the article's subject? Are there sections in the article that seem unnecessary? Is anything off-topic?
- The big Microgadus tomcod page doesn’t have anything but like two or three sections. I feel like the section on in popular media is irrelevant. But user Dkwillsey did a great job remaining on topic and expressing the important things.
7. Does the article draw conclusions or try to convince the reader to accept one particular point of view?
- No, it states the facts.
8. Are there any words or phrases that don't feel neutral? For example, "the best idea," "most people," or negative associations, such as "While it's obvious that x, some insist that y."
- No
9. Are most statements in the article connected to a reliable source, such as textbooks and journal articles? Or do they rely on blogs or self-published authors?
- Yes, both sources were from journal. One being the environmental health perspectives one and the other AAAS science. Both sources had many authors, so there was no one perspective ideally.
10. Are there a lot of statements attributed to one or two sources? If so, it may lead to an unbalanced article, or one that leans too heavily into a single point of view.
- User Dkwilley did not specifically cite his sources, so I’m not sure if there was a dependence on one source more than the other. But there is only two sentences added, so even if only one source was used, this would be okay.
11. Are there any unsourced statements in the article, or statements that you can't find stated in the references? Just because there is a source listed, doesn't mean it's presented accurately!
- The information added does not have citations on them, but the sources are provided.
