Reader evaluation of draft of Second Draft and feedback on areas of improvement

 

á         title: subtitle (catchy:explanatory?)

 

 

 

á         abstract (clear and formal prose? Good summary?)

 

 

 

 

 

 

á         ten keywords (appropriate? useful?)

 

 

 

 

á         outline (clear yet succinct)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

á         introduction (does it grab, hook, set stage, generate controversy?) any suggestions?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

á         body of paper in sections according to outline

(is there a logic to the structure? Do the sections come in the optimal order?  Is there controversy?  Are there winners and losers?)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

á         conclusion

(are you clear on where research on this question should go in light of the paper?),

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

á         bibliography

(are these 25-30 articles, 15-20 books, effectively used in the text and notes?),
