Peer review

after that I began incubating throughout the entire day. That night I had used my outline and made a really rough draft of my paper. The day of peer review I was prepared to have a lot of feedback about how I needed to use more supporting details and finish my paper because I only had one-third of my paper done. The feedback that I received from my peer review was somewhat helpful. This is because some of the feedback that I received was unhelpful feedback that I knew that I needed to complete…

Cause and Effect – Peer Review In an interview with Petr Munzy, a Law Professor of Law and Logic on human thinking, he speaks of one basic principle that permeates the whole universe. It is the principle of Cause and Effect. He states in his interview that every effect around us must have a cause. For example, you walk in a Forrest, and right there in the middle of the Forrest you see a bench. The bench is the effect, what is the cause? Is it accidental or deliberate? Somebody must have…

This peer-reviewed review article seeks to assess coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) serum levels in patients taking statin medications. It also determines whether CoQ10 supplementations are beneficial for alleviating or improving statin-related myopathic symptoms. These improvements can be inferred by symptom improvements as well as increases in plasma levels of CoQ10. In this study, an electronic search is conducted on several databases to select studies performed within 2005-2010. The references of the…

As far as peer response is concerned, I have absolutely no experience having it done by anyone other than my wife. I have never read another person’s writing and given my critique or suggestions of how it should be written. As I watched A Peer Response Demonstration (2010) video, I found it very informative. I could see myself like the first person in the video. Like her, I wouldn’t want to be too critical because I would feel bad hurting someone’s feelings. I guess that is why I haven’t…

Getting another opinion has always been something that I have found helpful when I am writing, especially when my paper has not been completely finished. Although, when my paper is finished and I go through peer editing I get…

I didn’t feel comfortable nor qualified to be grading someone else’s work. I now understand the benefits of peer review. I have learned having someone else looking over your work can help you see mistakes you have overlook or that a simple rewording can make things sound…
