Importance of Publication
“The research backgrounds of the two investigators are fine. However, I don't see any previous study on the hydro seismic area. Generally, their publication records are weak.”

Thinking Ahead During Research
•Where will I publish these results?
•How many papers will I publish with these data?
•To which journals will I submit these data?
•Who will be my co-authors? (Working in lab groups or in teams across disciplines and institutions distributes this workload efficiently)

Every Detail Matters
“One more issue bothers me. The authors show ‘square’ piers in their figures. Almost all the experiments in the literature work with cylindrical piers, even the literature discussed in the proposal. In order to compare the results of this research with the bulk of previous research in this area of study, cylindrical piers should be used in the experiment and modeled in the simulation.”
