[ RadSafe ] Peer Review Criteria - Environmental Health

[alanpeg at sbcglobal.net]

Before retirement I often did peer review. I would send comments such as 
"you would make your point more convincingly if you plotted ..." or "you 
really have two papers here. Please rewrite so that one is on subject A and 
the other is on subject B." Sometimes the authors thanked the anonymous 
reviewer, often not. The writing style of many scientists (including me) is 
often terrible and, if I could help clarify the writing, I felt I was doing 
a service.
