The process of providing peer review to writers whose work is similar to one’s own is extremely useful. The work of other scholars can be a fantastic source of inspiration throughout my creative process, and I enjoy the opportunity to improve my own writing by helping others do the same. Revision is an essential step in the process of writing, and it is through this process that writers are able to incorporate various perspectives in their work while still maintaining a personal voice. The process of peer review is a very useful method of revision, and according to Steven Williams, a University of Hawaii professor, "as a peer reviewer, your job is not to provide answers. You raise questions; the writer makes the choices. You act as a mirror, showing the writer how the draft looks to you and pointing out areas which need attention." Making the first step and providing meaningful constructive criticism to someone else makes them more likely to do the same for your work, eliciting a mutually beneficial arrangement. When two researchers are familiar with each other's style and work, it is much easier for them to provide feedback to each other throughout a writing process.  Included below are two samples of my peer review on colleagues' papers, and the revisions I received from them were very helpful in the refinement of my draft.
