2. Write concisely (especially in Arabic and Hebrew)

3. Follow the style guide

4. Create your reference list as you go along (reference software)

5. Do your own peer review

2. It does not fall within the aims and scope.
3. The procedures or analysis are seen as defective.
4. Its conclusions aren't justified.
5. It is simply an extension of a different paper.
6. It's incomprehensible.
