====== Comments on Paper Reviewing ======
Dr. Denton outlined a few guidelines for reviewing papers properly.\\ 

  * Conflict of Interest - must be reported and lead to the rejection of the reviewing
  * A reviewer has always the option to decline the reviewing of a paper for undisclosed reasons
  * Importance of quality - Comments and suggestions made to the authors of a paper must be correct and sound
  * Don't get carried away - Rather than commenting on how something should be done, comment on how clearly or sound things are that were done
  * Summarize - the first few sentences of a review should summarize the paper, its approach, etc. to show the authors that the paper was read and to show the editor and authors that the paper was understood
  * Do not focus on grammar and spelling - You are not supposed to review the paper because of your English expertise, but because of your domain expertise
  * Corrections - When suggesting corrections, focus on formulae and figures

Domain Expertise\\ 

  * Correctness of figures
