 * Name of article: Ecology Letters
 * I want to have a quick knowledge about this journal.

Lead evaluation
The Lead includes an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic. The lead is concise.

Content evaluation
The article's content is relevant to the topic but not enough. It is not up-to-date by listing the impact factor in 2014. More contents about research topics that fall within the scope of the journal and averaged review and publication time span would be be very helpful to its potential submitters.

Tone and balance evaluation
This article is neutral and does not attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another. However, it only talks about the databases where this journal is abstracted and indexed. It neglects more details that scientists who may submit their works to this journal are interested in, such as general research topics that fall within the scope of the journal and estimated review and publication time span.

Sources and references evaluation
The reference seems to not match with the cited sentence in the content.

Organization evaluation
The article is concise and clear, but it may neglect some important points which I think should be included here.

Images and media evaluation
This article include an image that enhances understanding of the topic, i.e. cover of the journal. However, the image is not very clear.

Talk page evaluation
This is no discussion about the topic.

Overall evaluation
This article lists some basic information about Ecology Letters. However, it may not be very complete and more contents need to be included here.
