C. Manuscript Review

Please examine the assigned manuscript. Data Reports submitted for publication in the IODP Proceedings should contain data analyses and the like but no interpretation. Thus they are normally reviewed by one specialist only. A Data Report ordinarily should include a section on methods, or a comparable section that indicates such things as analytical or descriptive procedures followed, and a section on results. Please make sure that they are complete and relevant.

Please address each topic listed in this questionnaire. More detailed comments may be added in the space provided. Suggestions, minor corrections, and comments may be made on the manuscript.
