In my most recent annotations I have called out keywords, claims, parts that confuse me and
points I agree with. I already highlight my annotations in different colors and it shows me how
attentive I am. A type of annotation that I didn't use is ‘Preview the text’.

Being published in a scholarly journal, 10+ pages in length, an abstract, organization by heading,
