Paper deconstruction
The questions a good journal-club reviewer would ask, applied to any paper abstract or text.
Deconstruct this paper: 1. Claim: what exactly do the authors claim, in one sentence? 2. Evidence: what did they actually measure/build, and does it support the claim? 3. Limits: what populations/conditions/scales does the evidence NOT cover? 4. Alternatives: what other explanations fit the same results? 5. Verdict: how much should this update my beliefs, on a scale from "noise" to "field-changing", and why? Paper: [PASTE ABSTRACT OR TEXT]
