What makes a good reviewer?


People have different views on what makes a good reviewer. Some people measure the quality of reviews by the number of words with a longer review being seen as better. For me a good review has balance, it states what is good as well as what needs to be improved or added. A completely negative review is destructive and the good points are lost on the author who will only see criticism. To me a good review stresses a number of things that need to be improved, the key things to get the article published. This does not necessarily mean it has to be several pages. In fact it can be quite succinct and hence more manageable for the author to understand and follow.
