Article Evaluation[edit]

  • Evaluate article content by answering the following questions:
    • Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
    • Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? From reading the article in the Prevalence section there is only examples of studies reflecting academic procrastination. I feel an example of procrastination in industry would increase the prevalence factor of the topic. Perhaps this article as a reference: The Impact of Organizational and Personal Factors on Procrastination in Employees of a Modern Russian Industrial Enterprise.(http://lpclibrary.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=132173924&site=ehost-live)
    • What else could be improved? In the intro it is stated:"Although typically perceived as a negative trait due to its hindering effect on one's productivity often associated with depression, low self-esteem, guilt and inadequacy;[3] it can also be considered a wise response to certain demands that could present risky or negative outcomes or require waiting for new information to arrive.[4]" I failed to see any expansion on the notion of procrastination being positive.
  • Evaluate the article's tone by answering the following questions:
    • Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
    • Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? Academic procrastination seems to be talked about a lot. I would like to see a section on procrastination in the work place, self-care just to name a couple.
  • Evaluating the article's sources by answering the following questions:
    • Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? Yes
    • Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? From analyzing the talk page I found there was an one-sided sentence and upon reading the article it looks to be removed.
  • Lastly, Take a look at how others are talking about this article on the talk page and answer the following questions:
