Thought of clarifying about 10th & 13th requirement in the final assignment:
for 10th requirement
The expectation was “Are the experimental methods described adequately? (if applies)”. For your better understanding, I am rewriting the question – “Are there any appropriate methods (e.g., research methods, analysis methods) that have been used in the article or is it evidence based?”Hope this question is clear & specific.
Similarly, for 13th requirement:
Just indicate whether the article provide any implications or not.
