Before Mloupe
Expert time spent finding preventable problems
- References Missing citations, orphan references, duplicate references, inconsistent years, incomplete bibliography entries.
- Internal consistency Sample sizes that change between sections, percentages that do not reconcile, contradictory dates, inconsistent terminology.
- Tables & Figures Broken numbering, incorrect cross-references, inconsistent values, missing units, unclear captions.
- Methods & Reporting Missing methodological details, unexplained exclusions, inconsistent participant flows, incomplete search strategies.
- Language & Presentation Grammar, punctuation, abbreviations, formatting inconsistencies, broken Word references and unfinished placeholders.
The result: Professors spend valuable review time discovering problems that should have been caught before expert evaluation.
