Which article are you evaluating?
Edible vaccine

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I for one do not enjoy getting shots and I was curious if an edible vaccine could be as effective as a subcutaneous/intramuscular injection. As the passage states vitamins and proteins we get in our diet can act as vaccines.

Evaluate the article
The lead section was great, very concise and you can tell exactly what the article is going to be about. The content for the most part seems good and up to date. There have been multiple edits just last month and the sources are from 2000 and up. I feel like some of the sections didn't get as much details as others but I also think that is because some carry more weight than others. I would also agree that this is an underrepresented topic because I had never heard about it before. It does have a good neutral tone, there were even edits made to remove emotional/biased phrases or tones. There is no persuasion or anything like that, it is purely informative. This article uses valid sources whose papers have many, even 150, valid citations. I checked and the sources are up to date and most likely the best source for information around. The article has a great flow to help the reader understand and gain more knowledge as they progress. The syntax is good and the paper appears to be professional. There are no images which does make the article seem a little dull, there could definitely be a graphic showing data or study results. There are no conversations and the rating of this article in a few different fields is "low importance." I think this was a well written/structured paper, for an article about a topic of "low importance" they provided meaningful information. I do think this could be improved by taking away a bit of the benefits to help the overall balance of text, they could also add a graphic of some sort.
