Peer Review

When looking at the peer reviews papers that I have previously edited, I have noticed a few key concepts that I tend to lean towards when editing the papers. I am not good at english, specifically grammar. I feel that when editing you should place your input on your strong characteristics instead of your weak one. For example, if I am editing a paper, I am going to correct more on the the general flow and concepts of the paper, rather than the grammar. Simply because those are my strong points. I do not feel that I should be correcting on a grammar rule that I have no clue about. As I look back on my previous reviews, I feel that I did a good job trying to get the main point across. I tried to leave my comments and make them completely understandable. Throughout most of my peer reviews, i feel that my comments speak t different things. One paper i graded, the writer hd geared it towards many audiences. I felt like to make the paper stronger, they should limit the about of audience and really focus to appeal to just one audience. This year as a writer, I have learned many things about what I focus on. As previously stated, I feel that when I write a paper, I lean towards the over all general idea of the paper. Seeing this throughout my editing has aloud me to realize and grow as a writer. in recent papers I start off focusing on the general flow, but then i transition into focusing on each paragraph; and sometimes I even focus on a single flow of a sentence. This technique has made my editing skills stronger and also had aloud me to grow not only as a editor but also llet me focus on the small things when I am writing my own papers.
