User:Loosepa/Ribosomal pausing/Loosepa Peer Review
Peer Review[edit]
1. Is it obvious to you which sections of the article have been revised? Is the new content relevant to the topic?
Yes, it is obvious which sections of the article have been revised. Beneath each heading, my peer added "Edited" or "Unedited" with a date to indicate which sections of the article have been revised. This new content is relevant to the topic.
2. What does the article do well? Is there anything from your review that impressed you? Any particular information that you found especially informative.
The article does a good job at translating certain biological terms and processes into Layman's terms for all readers. The revised article is also more concise and would be easier to read than the previous article as a result. The article also does a good job at explaining the information in the sub sections.
3. What overall adjustments do you suggest the author apply to the article? Why would those changes be an improvement? What's the most important thing the author could do to improve the article?
I think the author could make some adjustments to the lead paragraph. There is some information In the lead that is not further mentioned in the article. In addition, there is room for adjustments in the lead sentence. Perhaps an additional lead sentence before the current one could include some background on the role of the ribosome in protein synthesis.
4. Did you notice anything about the article you reviewed that could be applicable to your own article? Let them know.
My article is on Mutagenesis and the article I am reviewing is Ribosomal pausing. I thought that the information about ribosome profiling was interesting and something that could be relevant would be how ribosomal profiling be used to pause translation of mutated genes.
5. Is all new content backed up by a reliable source of information?
Yes, all new content is backed up by a reliable source of information. The information throughout the article was properly cited and there is a diverse amount of articles listed that have a lot of information about ribosomal pausing
6. Are the sources fairly current (> 2015)? Check a few links. Do they work?
Some of the sources are fairly current, but most of them are from before 2015. Perhaps there is room for improvement here. Maybe if my peer searched for articles and sorted them by date, they would find some articles they haven't seen yet that may have data more relevant to the topic today.
7. Summarize any typographical/grammatical errors that you found.
I did not come across any typographical/grammatical errors within my peer's article.
8. Student authors are responsible for all images on their page (even if not part of their revised subsection). Double check the original page to make sure images are acceptable and clearly described. See associated tutorial to review Wiki image requirements. Summarize your findings.
There are no images on my peer's wikipedia page.
9. Identify at least one additional reference that you think may contribute to the article. Explain why you think this article would benefit from the new information. Be sure to provide the reference in your write-up.
I think this article does a really good job at explaining why translation in mammalian cells is limited for amino acids. I think it could be useful in the article to explain how some amino aids that are not optimally sensed by the signaling through different kinases can instead be regulated through ribosome pausing based.
