Comment on a Document
Comment on a document.
Comments can be made any time during the commenting period, which is established by the Peer Review owner. If you try to comment before or after the comment period, you will receive an error message.
There are three levels of commenting possible in Peer Review. The Peer Review owner establishes what level each assignment has. The levels are:
- Entire document. Comments are made on the document as a whole and appear at the end of a document in order of submission date. To make a comment, click on the "Make Comment" button that appears below the document.
- Selected paragraph. Comments can be made on any paragraph within a document and appear in date order at the end of the each paragraph. Simply click on a paragraph to make a comment on it.
- Selected sentence. Comments can be made on specific sentences within a document and appear in date order after the sentence they reference. Click on a sentence to make comments on it.
Enter your comments in the large text area near the bottom of the comment window. Basic HTML tags can be used in commenting if "HTML" is chosen for the comment format.
When you have completed your comments, click the "Submit Comment" button. Your comment will be saved into the database but will not be displayed on your screen until you:
- Close the comment window.
- Select your own participant name, or select "Select All" in the participant list at the bottom Peer Review frame.
- Click "Update."
You must follow the above instructions in order to see your most recent comment.
If you make a mistake or error in a comment, you cannot edit it. However, you may contact the Peer Review owner and ask them to make corrections for you. The Peer Review owner has the ability to make corrections or delete a comment. Edited or deleted comments will not be displayed to participants, but the comments are still accessible by the Peer Review owner for assessment purposes.
