Title and sub-title[edit source]

  1. Excellent
  2. Capitalisation of the title/sub-title has been corrected to be consistent with the book table of contents
  3. Authorship details removed - authorship is as per the page's editing history
  4. A section should contain either 0 or 2+ sub-sections - avoid having sections which contain 1 sub-section.

User page[edit source]

  1. Created, with description about self and link to book chapter

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. Excellent
  2. Thanks for helping with APA style

Section headings[edit source]

  1. Use default heading formatting (not small - this formatting has been removed)
  2. Basic, 2-level heading structure - seems reasonable.
  3. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an overview paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.

Key points[edit source]

  1. Limited development of key points.
  2. Conclusion is empty - this is arguably the most important section
  3. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles.

Image[edit source]

  1. None provided

References[edit source]

  1. Excellent.
  2. For full APA style:
    1. Do not include issue numbers for journals which are continuously numbered within a volume

Resources[edit source]

  1. See also
    1. Excellent
  2. External links
    1. Include source in brackets

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is a reasonably good, but somewhat basic, chapter.
  2. This chapter is well under the maximum word count.
  3. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits.

Theory[edit source]

  1. Very basic coverage of theory is provided.

Research[edit source]

  1. Very basic coverage of research is provided.
  2. When describing important research findings, consider including a bit more detail about the methodology and indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
  3. Greater emphasis on major reviews and meta-analyses would be helpful.

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Written expression is reasonably good, but is somewhat awkward in places.
    2. Direct quotes should be embedded within sentences and paragraphs, rather than dumped holus-bolus. Even better, communicate the concept in your own words.
    3. The chapter benefited from a well developed Overview and Conclusion, with clear focus question(s) and take-home messages.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
    2. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
  3. Learning features
    1. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words would make the text more interactive.
    2. Embedding interwiki links links to other book chapters would help to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
    3. Use in-text interwiki links, rather than external links.
    4. Good use of images.
    5. Good use of quizzes.
      1. Q2: Changed from single-response to multiple-response
    6. Good use of case studies and feature boxes.
  4. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags).
    2. Use serial commas[1] - it is part of APA style.
    3. Check and correct use of that vs. who.
  5. APA style
    1. Refer to each Table and each Figure at least once within the main text.
    2. Citations are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. When there are three or more authors, subsequent citations should use et al. e.g., Smith, Bush and Western (2001) and thereafter cite Smith et al. (2001).
      2. References are close to full APA style (nb. check capitalisation of journal titles).

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~10 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence
