Abstract
This paper presents the standards by which a research article should be evaluated. Specific scientific standards of evaluation are clearly presented. Additionally, the paper stresses that the function of a research article is to inform the reader about the problem under investigation and to highlight fully the methods used to solve this problem.
From the Paper
"Fairly critiquing an investigator's research endeavor is a task that must be taken seriously. Although it is quite easy to have an opinion of another's research, it is something quite different to be able to evaluate the research activity in terms of topic specificity and soundness, intent or purpose, data analysis, and informational importance. When embarking upon a critical analysis of another's work the reviewer must, at all times, adhere to the basic principle of prudent evaluation; namely, evaluating the structure of the research upon which scientific conclusion are drawn. More specifically, the function of a research report (article) is to inform readers about the problem being investigated and the methods used to solve the problem."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at nanotechnology and reviews the possibilities of nanotechnology possessing the properties to become the next revolution. This paper also discusses the speech "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom" given by Nobel Prize winning physicist, Richard Feynman, disagreeing that the laws of physics do not control man's capacity to control single atoms and molecules.
From the Paper
"It has been said that with creation comes destruction. Technology has yet to perfect rational within nanotechnology. However, if a nanomachine with the capability of logical reasoning is developed, one must speculate whether or not nanotechnology can possess the properties to become the next revolution. Forming a new revolution can alter the way the society lives economically, scientifically, and in many other ways. In essence, nanotechnology with the capacity of logical reasoning can have the capability to become harmful instead of good, striving to bring out the destruction of its creator."
