Option 1
Article Evaluation
 * Article title: Suspension polymerization


 * Tone is not neutral in some points (i.e. "we generally prefer").
 * Lead section is more detailed than the actual body/content of the article.
 * Some sources are not linked properly and some claims are not cited at all.
 * Could use a mechanism/preparation section with diagrams.
 * Could use a materials characterization techniques section (or this could be a subcategory under the mechanism/preparation section).
 * Could use an applications section.
 * Sources

Option 2
Article title: Cocrystals

Article Evaluation


 * The properties section of the article could use some work. It can be further divided into smaller subcategories that detail the physical and chemical properties of cocrystals in general.
 * The characterization section does not have a lot of details in it; the article could use some example XRPD, FT-IR, etc. data of common cocrystals.
 * It appears like the article was written mostly from the POV of a pharmaceutical scientist since most of the focus was on the applications section for that field.
 * The article could use more photos and diagrams.

Option 3
Article title: Copolymers

Article Evaluation


 * Some sections had way less information/details than other areas, even though they should have been given equal amounts of sources (i.e. branched copolymers, star copolymers, etc.)
 * Could use a characterization techniques section for copolymers.
 * Could use a properties section.
 * Could also use an application/commercialization section.
 * Microphase separation section seems oddly placed; certain sentences seem biased (i.e. "Block copolymers (but not exclusively) are interesting because they can...")
 * This feels like it should be a subcategory for a larger Properties section.

Option 4
Article Evaluation
 * Article title: Analytical Technique


 * Since the article is a stub, the lead section does not contain all the information that it needs. The first sentence describing the topic does not give a very good idea/summary of what analytical techniques are.
 * The sources are very sparse and the first citation isn't from a credible source.
 * The types of analysis are very sparse. Not enough examples are given with credible sources.
 * Could use a history/definition section.
 * Could use an applications section.

Option 5
Article Evaluation
 * Article title: Oxygen scavengers


 * Many of the claims have no citations.
 * Certain sections are very incomplete and the amount of detail is not equally distributed.
 * The benefits and uses sections are only in bullet form and do not give any elaboration.
 * Some grammar and punctuation mistakes are notable.
 * Could use a more detailed history section that can either be part of or separate from the mechanism section.
