I was suprised to find this information where I did. I found it on a college website and the subject I was looking for was right at the top. In addition it takes you through the whole pre-writing process, starting with directed questioning to get you going. It then moves on to freewriting to get some of your ideas on paper, followed by brainstorming which could be incorporated into the freewriting process. This was a short but very helpful listing for the pre-writing process.

I enjoyed the way this article was laid out. It takes the potential reviewer through a series of questions that can be used to properly review an article that has been written.It also poses various senarios in which the reviewer can be biased and do an inaccurate reveiw of the material. It uses the senario of being blind so that a fair review can be completed. I believe that this is a credible site due to it being from an educational institution and it has the "edu" in the url.\nMurphy,R.

It gave various examples as to how various life situations can affect your ablility to do an honest revision, even if it means that you have to rewrite certain sections which you previously thought were ok. It pretty much gives you the dos' and don'ts of revising so in the end you will have a accurate and thorough document
