In this book, you may find some techniques and ideas to become a

smart reviewer. Every researcher can write research article but only

few can review the article as it needs analytical thinking, creativity,

literature skill and finally research experience.

The best way of using this book is to read the whole article. After

that select one research article from IEEE, ACM or any eminent

journal and go through the whole article. Now sit back and relax to

use your reviewing skill.

discussion.
