Feedback
The reviewer, WeirdNAnnoyed, left the following feedback:
This is almost certainly a notable topic, but real sources are needed. Only two sources are listed; the first is good, but Science Direct Overviews are not sources, they are AI-generated summaries that are unacceptable as references. Furthermore, the article makes many specific statements but has very few inline citations, making it difficult to verify any statement. Several more sources (ideally secondary sources) are needed, and they need to be cited when any claim based on them is made. The article as it stands is effectively a summary of the Olaoba et al. paper, and we need more than that.
This draft appears to be generated by a large language model (such as ChatGPT). You should not use LLMs to generate article content.

LLM-generated pages with the below issues may be deleted without notice.

These tools are prone to specific issues that violate our policies:

  • hallucinations: they often invent false information and cite non-existent references.
  • unencyclopedic tone: they tend to be vague, promotional, or essay-like, rather than neutral and factual.
  • copyright issues: they may closely paraphrase existing text, leading to copyright violations.

Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject.

See the advice page on large language models for more information.

Next steps

  • Edit Draft:Snake venom metalloproteinase to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.
  • When you are ready to resubmit your draft for review, click the Resubmit button.
  • If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it may be deleted.
