Microplastics

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article becasue Microplastics is the main topic of my minireview paper. This article is very well-developed in my first impression.

Lead section
Th lead section clearly includes an introductary sentence that describes the topic. It is a concise overview of the main sections. However, it is long and includes unnecessary details, such as survey results. All information is present in the article.

Content
It is very up to date: it was revised and edited periodically this month. Content is about the topic, and is well distributed. There are some sections that are shorter, but the topic itself is underdeveloped,

Tone and Balance
Majority of the article is in neutral tone, stating only factual evidence.

Sources and References
All facts are backed up by a source. Most of the sources are from 2018 to current as the topic itself is very new. Some sources are from journal articles, and others are from newspaper articles from various authors.

Organization and writing quality
Article is well organized with no evident spelling or grammer mistakes. It is very long, and a little tiring to read.

Images and Media
All images are captioned and relevent to the topic. However, there are only 11 pictures in an article that has over 2 million words.

Overall impressions
Overall, the article is well written, well organized and well cited. There are few areas of improvement, such as images and media, but it does not take away from the content of the article.
