the main claim of the paper is about the societies status, its trends about the socioeconomic progress and how the women in the society use contraception ant he ill effects of the same..etcThe claim is a major step to go in the right direction for a mass application and deciding the right use of a particular contraception and review thepresent practice of the contraceptions.
-
Are these claims novel? If not, please specify papers that weaken the claims to the originality of this one.
surely the claims are very much novel
-
Are the claims properly placed in the context of the previous literature?
no.the method of placement should be of highest quality and chronological and methodological
-
Do the results support the claims? If not, what other evidence is required?
well its an observation stated in plane language and is not a study for the results to support the claim.anyway the observations do support the claim very well.
-
If a protocol is provided, for example for a randomized controlled trial, are there any important deviations from it? If so, have the authors explained adequately why the deviations occurred?
no protocol or methodology is used/provided.these are pure observatons.
-
Is the methodology valid? Does the paper offer enough details of its methodology that its experiments or its analyses could be reproduced?
no methodolgy used.
-
Would any other experiments or additional information improve the paper? How much better would the paper be if this extra work was done, and how difficult would such work be to do, or to provide?
well the comparative study with existing ideological methods ,as an observational study and all in a tabular form and where possible the tests of statistics would improve the gravity of the claims.
-
Is this paper outstanding in its discipline? (For example, would you like to see this work presented in a seminar at your hospital or university? Do you feel these results need to be incorporated in your next general lecture on the subject?) If yes, what makes it outstanding? If not, why not?

To study the effects of hormonal contraceptives in women in Nepal
Not very new
Not at all. The contents of the manuscript are diverted from its title and the main focus is on educational status of men and women of Nepal, their occupation and socio economic status. The MS is devoid of adverse effects of the use of hormonal contraceptives. The MS do not provide any alternative to harmful effects of Depo and the modern contraceptives are not mentioned in detail. The data provided is irrelavent as it is unrelated to the title. for example % of literacy in Nepal, different ages of women bearing pregnancy etc.. Overall the MS lacks a scientific writing. There is no Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion section. All have been jumbled in the Introduction and the paper ends with the introduction.
No
No trial only survey
no
in fact nothing is organised
extremely poor
My request to the Editors to Kindly assure atleast that the paper has the scientifically arranged sections.
