Which article are you evaluating?
Oncogene

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it's definition is a building block of the entire study of cancer. It is important to understand an oncogene to begin to understand how to prevent and treat cancer.

Evaluate the article
The article, overall, is informative but is also lacking a bit more structure and stronger content. The lead section should be rewritten or material should be added to introduce the different sections of the article. The content is relevant and important for the discussion of oncogenes. The tone is neutral and emulates that of a textbook, which is good for a scientific article. The article is lacking media and visuals for easier digestion of material. Sources with modeled gene behavior would be a great addition. The "History" section should also have a timeline added. Examples of diseases that are caused by the different proto-oncogene activation methods would also be a great addition. The only major concern was citation #3. When navigating to the source, the website content did not relate to the information in the sentence. It should be fixed to include a credible source.
