D. G. Buck 
LAB 2
The peer reviewed article Physical and chemical properties of hypersaline Lago Enriquillo, Dominican Republic, focuses on the test salinity of the lake, trying to prove that there is fresh and salty water coming from different places into the lake. They explain what is the scientific method they used to try to prove their believes. This article just stick to show facts and information about the lake itself and provide charts, maps, and experiment reports to have a based for their conclusion. This an interesting article because give you perspective of what the scientist think about this phenomenon.


What will lead me to think this is a peer-reviewed article?
1.     Because it is divided into pieces (Introduction, methods, discussion…)
2.     How many reference this contain
3.     Who it is sponsoring the article
