Which article are you evaluating?
Dose–response relationship

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because we have been learning about individual and quantal dose response graphs in class. Studying dose response relationships can be important in several fields because it is critical in determining safe levels of exposure to certain substances. I thought that this article did a good job proving accurate information about dose-response relationship, but they did not mention anything about the difference between quantal and individual dose response graphs.

Evaluate the article
The article has a good introductory sentence that concisely and accurately explains to the reader what a dose response relationship is. However, the rest of the lead paragraph does not give a brief description of the article's major sections. Some of the content that is missing in this article is making the distinction between individual and quantal dose response. The underlying assumptions when using this data is also not included both of which are very important aspects of dose response. All of the content seems relevant to the topic, but some of the sources are very old. The author does seem to have any bias on this topic and maintains a neutral tone throughout the article. The article follows a logical order for its major topic and is easy to follow along. The images used do help enhance a reader's understanding of this topic especially if they have never seen what a dose response graph should look like. The captions on the figures make the figures understandable. On the talk page people are discussing specific things are wrong with the article. I believe this article makes it easy for someone with no background to start understanding this topic, however it is also missing some key information so I would say this article is slightly underdeveloped.
