Independent peer-reeviews of the assigened research proposals. Please send your reviews on Friday the 17th of January only to:
​
tarek.el-sehity@sfu.ac.at  

When writing your review, please consider the following recommendations:
Peer-Review 
01. Be honest.
02. Do not let personal sympathy or antipathy play a role in your assessments and wording.
03. Be tactful and show respect.
04. Keep in mind that you could be erring and phrase your statements in a reversible manor.
05. Always stay constructive! First focus on the strengths and be encouraging.

As you read through the proposals, consider how the draft measures up to the following criteria:

With respect to the introductory section (“The state of the art”):
01. Is the introduction well-written and easy to understand?
    *If yes: which are the strong parts?
    *If not: underline the parts which are not clear and offer solutions where possible to you.
02. Is the research-question clear and well formulated?
    *If not: evidence the lack of the research question and/or provide better formulations.
03. Is the structure of the proposal clear and comprehensible?
    *If not: help in the identification of a better structure (e.g. what to present first and next to what argument…)
04. Do the authors synthesize the literature well?
    *If not: evidence it.
05. Are you convinced by the relevance of the research question?
    *Why or why not? State your reasons.
06. Does the introduction identify the topic clearly?
    *If not, what needs to be clearer?
07. Does the introduction conclude with a hypothesis or a research question (using the first person – “In this research proposal, we will…”).
    *Remember: the research question provides a strong guiding principle for the rest of the proposal!
    *If not: Offer some ideas…
08. Use of clear, concrete language and example to develop ideas; attention to detail:
    *Note in text possible parts to improve.
09. Effective use of source material (textual and visual as appropriate), which is integrated into the argument.
    *If not: suggest some sources, or mark in red what is better left.
10. Bibliography contains the full list of citation in APA-style?
    *If not: evidence in red the lack and misquotations.
