Evaluate the drafted changes
(Compose a detailed peer review here, considering each of the key aspects listed above if it is relevant. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what feedback looks like.)

Lead
The person I am reviewing did not edit the lead of the article.

Content
The content provided is very relevant to the article. The student is writing a subsection about citations and references used in scientific writing. Since the original article is missing this portion, this is a useful addition to the wikipedia page. When writing about citations and references, the student gave two examples, while also citing a source to showcase where these examples came from. This was a valuable strategy because providing more than one example adds depth to the paragraph.

Tone and Balance
The student did a great job with maintaining a neutral tone. The topics mentioned, within the paragraph, are both given the same amount of attention. Therefore, one topic is not being highlighted more than another, and there are no hints of bias.

Sources and References
In terms of the references used, the student referenced a peer-reviewed article from 2019. This is a good source for a couple of reasons: it was written recently, and it is specifically about formatting references in scientific manuscripts. With these two factors, readers can be assured that the information provided is updated, and about the specific topic being discussed.

Organization
The student's writing in concise and clear. In terms of flow, transitioning words could be added to regulate the flow a bit more, especially between the last couple of sentences. However, there are no major flaws in the paragraph's organization, and it reads well.

Images and Media
The person I am reviewing did not insert an image into the article.
