homework perfect paragraph

Submitted by cdkelly on Thu, 09/13/2018 - 22:10

During reading these two articles, something that jumped out at me was that the review article was open access; the majority of research articles I’ve read are locked behind a paywall. Perhaps this was done so that the information is readily available to anyone who is interested in the topic. I also found it intriguing that the review article had more level 2 headings, but it made sense since the review was drawing from so many different sources and consequently had to cover more ground. The structure of the discussion in the research article was different than what I’m used to. The way that it presented a numbered list that answered the questions posited at the beginning of the article was unique. Furthermore, the writing style of the review came off as more digestible because it was meant to describe a more broad topic. In skimming through the research article, I’ve come to realize that the absolute structure of a research article is not concrete. There are basic guidelines, such as having an abstract at the beginning or a discussion at the end, but the way that they do it up to them. Authors present information in a way that they believe best showcases their work.

Just a grammar thing but I believe you left out a word in the second to last sentence, "but the way they do it up to them" where it should be "but the way they do it is up to them". Just a reminder to always be proof reading and double checking. 

Hi! Overall, this paragraph is great. I think to make the flow even better, you might be able to combine the two sentences in the middle about how the structure of the discussion in the research article was different from what you're used to and why it was.
