Rules to follow for peer review
1. Read the paper carefully, and read it through once before commenting. Read to the end, then offer advice.
2. Ask your colleague about the intention and audience of this paper. To whom is she writing? For what purpose is she writing?
3. After you have read the paper through once, go back and mark places on which you are unclear. If you don't really understand the point of a paragraph, say, or if a certain example seems totally out of place, make a little mark in the margin and be prepared to explain what sees out of whack to you.
4. Remember that you are offering advice, not laying down the law. If your colleague balks at your suggestion, do not take it personally.
