Content of review 1, reviewed on October 27, 2020
Generating a review outside my area of expertise, it is possible to ensure that the abstract clearly contains the objective of the research. At the beginning of the reading, the introduction to the topic context is remarkable, as well as the specific part on which the research will focus. The methodology is outlined, brief and concise, as the results obtained. For its part, the topic is a good representation of the research and even manages to capture the reader's attention through its relationship to an environmental problem. Moreover, the references follow the norms established by the respective organization.
The introduction provides an updated and detailed context that helps to understand the importance of the research. Using a variety of articles with a similar topic shows the added value that the study provides. In general, it is an introduction with clearly justified objectives and easy to understand, since the ideas are ordered, and it specifies the meaning of unknown terms. However, it is recommended to use synonyms or descriptions of the words to avoid distractions to the reader and, in this way, make the content more attractive.
In other hand, the methodology meets the key points of validity and reliability. The procedure is shown in detail and in a chronological order capable of allowing its reproducibility. Also, the tables and figures allow a better understanding of the standards and proportions that someone can work with.
The data and results are presented in an understandable way and always focused on the objective of the research. Its presentation is limited to showing the facts without interpretation until before their respective analysis. The mathematical formulation is explained in detail for the reader's knowledge, placing him in the reason of the results. Furthermore, the tables and figures were convenient for the type of information displayed.
Finally, the discussions and conclusions show interpretations based on solid arguments that are supported by similar studies. In addition, both are oriented to the objective of the investigation without speculating or involving extra information to the data previously obtained. In general, the study design is adequate to respond to the stated objective. However, it is recommended to consider, a little more, the limitations of the study to serve as a guide for future research.
