A variety of more detailed constructs was assessed under each of these dimensions using a Likert-type (i.e. 1-5) rating scale (see Appendix I (3)). These are listed in Table 3.3. Both qualitative and quantitative information was collected for each dimension.

Reviewers commented on each article within a pair using this feedback tool i.e. per reviewer; four such assessments were conducted corresponding to each of the four articles.

In addition, reviewers completed a comparative questionnaire after reviewing each pair of articles, where they were asked to comment about the two articles in the pair in comparison to each other (see Appendix 1(4)).
