Collaborative Leadership peer review
editArticle Comprehensiveness
Details Notes a. Content • Does the lead section (first paragraph) of the article include a useful and clear overview of the topic/summary of the article’s main points? • What are the key points of the article as you understand them? • Does the contribution include a sufficient amount of information for the topic and a reasonable outline for the material that fully covers the core material, relevant issues, and key debates? • Are the points well supported by evidence with sufficient references and analysis? b. Thesis and analytic focus • Does the article focus on a clear topic? • Does it include detailed scholarly support (where appropriate)? c. Representativeness • Does the contribution consider a variety of perspectives rather than relying on just the point of view of one or two scholars? • Does the contribution take an appropriate tone in providing competing points of view? A. Content -The lead section simply states in one sentence a definition of what collaborative leadership is. I suggest elaborating in a few more sentences a overview of what the article is about.

For instance, are the key elements given equal treatment? Are sections overly long or short in proportion to their importance? -Yes the article does have a neutral point of view, and seems to evenly place weight on different topics.

Open-ended feedback
Question 1: What do you like most about what the group has done to the article so far? Why?
This group has expanded the information of this topic, but as stated above there are some changes that can be made to improve the article even more.
Question 2: What are two improvements you think the article needs?
I think that the article needs to have clarified key points and more so an introduction that states the objectives of the article and what can be found within it, rather than just simply a definition of the term.
Secondly I believe that the source and citations need to be clarified.
