You are to perform a peer review of a manuscript for the Annals of Infernal Medicine, using the form provided here. This is based on JAMA’s real form. Assume Annals Infern Med is a journal serving a general medical audience, akin to JAMA, NEJM, Annals of Internal Medicine, BMJ, Lancet, etc.
>
> Assume the paper is being considered for a legal policy section in the Journal, with a 2500 word limit.
>
>
>
> You must complete the (confidential) reviewer evaluation form, plus provide anonymous reviewer’s Comments for Authors.
>

> You also do not need to perform an extensive literature search for this, but as with any peer review, it may sometimes require you to look at sources cited to ensure they are correctly used, that the literature cited is adequately covered, and that there are no glaring holes in the relevant literature used by the authors, that is, critical papers that are not cited.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
