Reviewer's Precis
This is a useful
and innovative report because it shows how
information on molecular interactions can be obtained from abstracts.
The abstract(s) data is compared with Full-text data to show that it is
indeed informative. This is a well written piece of work and
derives its data (and conclusions) from a good sample of high profile
journals. Because of the importance of extracting molecular data
from online sources this work in my view is important. M and M:
One weakness may have been the analysis b bias by biocurators but
this is probably unavoidable. Otherwise paper well written and
referenced. Publish without changes. RH

Title: A comparison of information on molecular...
The Editorial board must ensure that the
OJB publishes only papers which are scientifically sound. To achieve
this
objective, the referees are requested to assist the Editors by making
an
assessment of a paper submitted for publication by:
(a) Writing a report on the
reverse
side of this form,
(b} Check the boxes shown below under
1. and 2. ( YES or NO) [N.B.A "NO" assessment must be supported
by specific comment in the report.
(c) Make a recommendation under
3.
The Editor-in-Chief would appreciate
hearing
from any referee who feels that he/she will be unable to review a
manuscript
within four weeks.
1. CRITERIA FOR JUDGEMENT (Mark "Yes"
or
"No").
Is the work scientifically sound? Y
Is the work an original contribution Y
Are the conclusions justified on the
evidence presented?Y
Is the work free of major errors in
fact, logic or technique? Y
Is the paper clearly and concisely
written? Y
Do you consider that the data provided
on the care and use of animals (See Instructions to Contributors) is
sufficient
to establish that the animals used in the experiments were well looked
after, that care was taken to avoid distress, and that there was no
unethical
use of animals? NA
2 PRESENTATION (Mark "Yes" or
"No").
Does the title clearly
indicate
the content of the paper? Y
Does the abstract convey the essence of
the article? Y
Are all the tables essential? NA
Are the figures and drawings of good
quality? Y
Are the illustrations necessary for an
understanding of the text? Y
Is the labelling adequate? Y
3. RECOMMENDATIONS(Mark one with an
X)
Not suitable for publication
in
the OJB
Reassess after major changes
Reassess after suggested changes
Accept for publication with minor changes
Accept for publication without changes X
