Part 3 - "2+2"
List TWO compliments and TWO suggestions about the article content
 * Hints:
 * Focus on the work, not the person
 * Describe "There is...", "I see.." rather than judge "You didn't..."

Compliments  . Really effective presentation throughout. The information was presented clearly. . The citations are used to their full effect throughout the article to provide an authoritative voice on the subject matter. (This is a lot harder to do than one would think.)

 Suggestions  . Mix in more with the use of citations, the majority of the article is cited material. Include some personal opinions/touches. . Provide more background information, or current information on subjects. Right now they are presented clearly, but not as in depth as they could be. 

You can make compliments and suggestions that relate to specific areas of the paper or to the paper in general. I suggest a mixture of both. Focus on what's most important. Of course, you can also include more than two suggestions and more than two compliments. The goal is to help the author improve his/her article.
