When doing peer editing

Sep 28, 2016 by TheIconicBlackout
It's hard not to sound like a jerk when revising someone else's paper. I kept commenting the paper was good but there were simple mistakes so the person wouldn't feel like crap lol. It's easier telling the person what they need to fix in person than online in my opinion.

I'd much rather edit a paper online, I hate doing it in person.

Kaitx Doing it online, I just realized how harsh things I say sound when editing lol. In person, I can make it sound less worse. But the online editing is more beneficial because of the annotations

I've edited papers in person that were really bad and I ignore about half of it to not sound like a smart ass.
