Headings[edit source]

  3. The Overview and Conclusion should not have sub-headings
  4. Avoid having sections with only 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings

Key points[edit source]

  1. Promising development of key points for each section, with relevant citations
  2. For sections which include sub-sections include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings

    1. an evocative description of the problem and what will be covered
    2. an image
    3. an example or case study
  4. Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research
  5. Promising use in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles. Also provide embedded links to other relevant book chapters (e.g., biophilia).
  6. Consider including more examples/case studies
  7. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. Hasn't been developed
    2. What might the take-home, practical messages be?

Resources[edit source]

  1. Excellent

Recommendations surrounding indigenous Australian connection to land and wellbeing[edit source]

Hello there, fascinating topic and can be related to Aboriginal Australian connection to land and country - as well as many other indigenous cultures. Here are two really good articles discussing the symbiotic relationship between indigenous people and their land - If their traditional land is unwell through deforestation or effects of industry it seems to have health impacts on the personal health of aboriginal Australians. I'd say that this is probably mediated through psychological means.

Schultz. (2017). Caring for country and the health of aboriginal and torres strait Islander Australians. The Medical Journal of Australia., 207(1), 8–10.https://doi.org/10.5694/mja16.00687

Taylor-Bragge. (2021). People Needs Country: the symbiotic effects of landcare and wellbeing for Aboriginal peoples and their countries. Australian Psychologist., 56(6), 458–471. https://doi.org/10.1080/00050067.2021.1983756

  2. Very useful examples are provided to illustrate theoretical concepts.

Research – Key findings[edit source]

  1. Relevant research is reasonably well reviewed.
  2. More detail about key studies would be ideal.
  3. Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.

Research – Critical thinking[edit source]

  1. Very good critical thinking about research is evident.
  2. For example, theoretical concepts are well differentiated and linked.
  3. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by:
    1. considering the strength of relationships
    2. acknowledging limitations
    3. pointing out critiques/counterarguments
    4. suggesting specific directions for future research
  4. Claims are referenced.

Integration[edit source]

  2. Clear take-home message(s).

Written expression – Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is excellent.
    2. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
  3. Grammar, spelling, and proofreading are excellent.
    1. Figures
      1. Figures are very well used.
      2. Figures are very well captioned.
      3. Figure captions should use this format: Figure X. Descriptive caption in sentence casing. See example.
      4. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).
    2. Citations are very good, but not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year. For example, either:

        2. in parentheses (Smith et al., 2020)
      2. When citing page numbers in parentheses, precede with a comma rather than colon (e.g., Smith, 2000, p. 1).
      3. Do not include author first names or initials.
    3. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[1]
      2. Include hyperlinked dois

Written expression – Learning features[edit source]

  2. Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive. See example.
