[Sextonlabmeeting] Reviewing Papers Exercise and Strategic Plans: Tuesday, January 23rd, 1:30-3 pm; COB1 322 (Willow Room)

[Jason Sexton]

Hi Everyone,

We will be reviewing the attached manuscript as a group next Tuesday (first
half hour to 45 minutes).  Please keep this manuscript confidential, and do
not distribute it, and if you notice a conflict of interest with one of the
authors notify me immediately. Come ready to discuss the merits and any
perceived problems with this manuscript. Below are guidelines from the
journal Heredity to which it has been submitted:

"Reviewers are kindly requested to assess whether the science is of
sufficient quality for publication in Heredity. The following broad
guidelines may be helpful:
*Please identify scientific problems with the paper and how the author
could address them.
*Please identify passages in the paper that require redrafting because the
scientific message is lost or incorrect.
*On the other hand, if the English requires extensive attention please
mention this in your review but do not spend time correcting it. The
authors can be asked to seek advice, and in severe cases Heredity can
access language-editing services.
*Please pay particular attention to figures, tables and their legends where
errors and poor presentation often occur.
*You are not asked to check the references - the production staff will do
this automatically.

In particular the review form will rapidly allow you to provide feedback in
the following areas:

Merit
Originality
Interest
Clear text, images, tables and summary
Recommendation
Remarks to the Editor
Remarks to the Author"


Also, we will be discussing strategic plans (AKA semester plans) and how to
make them at our next meeting
