HOW TO USE THE RESEARCH REVIEW INVENTORY (revised)
The review inventory consists of a number of items, numbered sequentially from 1 up to 58. You will find an
example of this review log with filled in answers on page 30 of this doc.
RATING SCALE :
Items should be reviewed and rated on a three-point rating scale from 1 to 3.
The ratings are defined as follows:
1: Absent, incorrect, or completely wrong.
2: Only partially addressed. It does not attain the item requirement or criteria.
3: Sufficiently up to standard in terms of the item criteria.
Every relevant item should be reviewed and rated on this three-point scale (1 to 3).
KEEP A RECORD OF YOUR ANSWERS
Use the R.R.I. (revised): Review Log to document and keep a record of your ratings.
REVIEWER COMMENTS AND THE FEEDBACK REPORT
Each rating is associated with general comments.
For example, suppose a reviewer reviews a particular proposal and gives a rating of “3” for the clarification of
the proposed study. The general comment would be: “The research question is formulated. A research question
is derived from the research issue.”
IMPORTANT NOTES
Remember, where the item criterion is not explicitly addressed then allocate a low rating (1). Good academic
writing is clear and transparent. If a reader needs to guess at whether an issue has been implemented and
addressed or not, then the writing is neither clear nor transparent. Only give a high rating (3) if the item criteria
have been explicitly addressed.
TIPS:
*To complete the log, read the Rating Item (R.R.I) column, refer back to the article, and then add in your
rate (1,2,3) to your blank log accordingly.
*When you complete the MCQ online, you will only have to add in your rating of 1, 2 or 3. No comments/
justifications will be necessary.
*Find an example of the review log you need to download on page 30.
*Please challenge these opinions and do not blindly copy the answers. Find justifications according to
your own research. I cannot guarantee my work is 100% correct.
