Calculator reviewer — chemistry and environmental science
D. Petrov reviews the chemistry and environmental-science calculators, verifying that reference constants match their stated values and that they remain adjustable wherever a different substance or condition would change them. Review also checks that definitional relationships are not presented as though they required a citation, and that non-definitional values always carry one.
What review means here
A reviewer is not the author. Before a calculator is published, the reviewer independently recomputes its worked test values, checks that the formula implemented matches the definition the page claims for it, and confirms the page is explicit about what it does not account for. Where a value is not definitional, the reviewer checks that a source is cited rather than assumed — and if one cannot be found, the calculator is dropped rather than guessed.
