But before you publish your “final version,” consider asking yourself the following questions:
1. Is it clear from the beginning what the paper is about?
2. Does each paragraph advance the subject?
3. Do the important ideas stand out clearly?
4. Are more details, examples, or anecdotes needed?
5. Is the information sufficiently clear?
6. Are there sweeping statements that need to be supported?
7. Do any technical terms need explanation?
8. Is there needless repetition?
9. Is the tone consistent?
10. Are any of the sentences too involved to follow with ease?
11. Are any of the words vague?
12. Are there grammatical errors?
13. Are there punctuation errors?
