Read, judge and write: a 13-step walkthrough of Kinsman et al., Nature Communications 2021, with the authors’ own raw data.
Chemistry Honours (CHEM-HONS, Rhodes, 2026): a 13-step interactive walkthrough of a gold-separation paper on selective precipitation with a simple diamide, using the authors' raw ICP-OES data to test claims and write a referee's report.
Built from prompt
An interactive walkthrough of one open-access chemistry research article (Kinsman, Ngwenya, Morrison & Love, Nature Communications 2021, 12, 6258: tuneable separation of gold by selective precipitation with a simple diamide). Honours students read it in passes, label the abstract and introduction moves, read a figure before its text, audit the experimental for repeatability, map each claim to its evidence, weigh claim strength, test the abstract's 'one variable' claim against the authors' deposited ICP-OES data, write a referee's report, then write a key-article slide and a practice abstract.
