PR Reviewer Guide 🔍

Here are some key observations to aid the review process:

⏱️ Estimated effort to review: 2 🔵🔵⚪⚪⚪

🧪 No relevant tests

🔒 No security concerns identified

⚡ Recommended focus areas for review Inconsistent Information The new text states that FTP can perform better than Aspera and Globus for medium and large files, which contradicts the previous version and common understanding of these protocols' performance characteristics. Missing Data The updated text mentions Figure 2 and Figure 3, but these figures are not included in the PR diff. It's important to ensure that the referenced figures accurately represent the new claims made in the text. Clarity Issue The sentence "Aspera, is the most stable protocol (the lowest standard deviation) for all file sizes; for example; on big files (7G), the median transfer speed is similar to Aspera ( 10MB/s), but it can perform for some files and locations under 5 MB/s." is confusing and needs clarification.

PR Code Suggestions ✨

Explore these optional code suggestions:

Category	Suggestion	Score
Best practice	Correct the subject-verb agreement and improve the sentence structure There's a grammatical error in the sentence about Aspera and Globus performance. The verb "performs" should be "perform" to agree with the plural subject. paper/paper.md [77] -Aspera and Globus (https) performs similar in all locations, but FTP show a higher variability across locations and file sizes. +Aspera and Globus (https) perform similarly in all locations, but FTP shows higher variability across locations and file sizes. Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8 Why: Correcting the grammatical error significantly improves the professionalism and readability of the document, making this a valuable suggestion.	8
Enhancement	Improve sentence structure and clarity by breaking down complex sentences into shorter, more focused ones The sentence structure in the latter part of the paragraph could be improved for clarity. Consider breaking it into shorter, more focused sentences to enhance readability and comprehension. paper/paper.md [77] -Aspera, is the most stable protocol (the lowest standard deviation) for all file sizes; for example; on big files (~7G), the median transfer speed is similar to Aspera (~ 10MB/s), but it can perform for some files and locations under 5 MB/s. In Figure 3 we present the download speed for different file sizes, protocols and locations. Aspera and Globus (https) performs similar in all locations, but FTP show a higher variability across locations and file sizes. For example, in US and Hong Kong, the download speed is higher than in Europe and UK, but the standard deviation is higher (Figure 2-3). +Aspera is the most stable protocol, showing the lowest standard deviation for all file sizes. For example, on big files (~7G), the median transfer speed for Aspera is ~10MB/s. FTP shows similar median speeds but can drop below 5 MB/s for some files and locations. Figure 3 presents the download speeds for different file sizes, protocols, and locations. Aspera and Globus (https) perform similarly across all locations. In contrast, FTP shows higher variability across locations and file sizes. For instance, FTP speeds are higher in the US and Hong Kong compared to Europe and the UK, but with a higher standard deviation (Figures 2-3). Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7 Why: The suggestion effectively enhances readability and comprehension by restructuring complex sentences into clearer, more concise statements, which is beneficial for the document's clarity.	7
	Include specific numerical values for download speeds to provide more concrete performance comparisons Consider providing specific numerical values for the download speeds mentioned. This would give readers a more concrete understanding of the performance differences between the protocols. For example, you could include the median download speeds for each protocol when discussing large files. paper/paper.md [77] -For small files (~14MB), the three have similar performance. For medium (~230MB) and large files (~3G and ~7G), FTP can perform better than Aspera and Globus (https), but the standard deviation is higher, which means that for some file downloads it performs poorly (Figure 2). Aspera, is the most stable protocol (the lowest standard deviation) for all file sizes; for example; on big files (~7G), the median transfer speed is similar to Aspera (~ 10MB/s), but it can perform for some files and locations under 5 MB/s. +For small files (~14MB), the three protocols have similar performance. For medium (~230MB) and large files (~3G and ~7G), FTP can perform better than Aspera and Globus (https), with peak speeds of X MB/s, but its standard deviation is higher, which means that for some file downloads it performs poorly (Figure 2). Aspera is the most stable protocol (the lowest standard deviation) for all file sizes; for example, on big files (~7G), the median transfer speed is ~10MB/s for both Aspera and FTP, but FTP can perform under 5 MB/s for some files and locations. Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6 Why: Providing specific numerical values for download speeds would enhance the reader's understanding of the performance differences between protocols. This suggestion improves the clarity and informativeness of the text.	6
	Add an explanation for the observed variability in FTP performance across locations and file sizes Consider adding a brief explanation of why FTP shows higher variability across locations and file sizes. This would provide more insight into the protocol's behavior and help readers understand the implications of these findings. paper/paper.md [77] -Aspera and Globus (https) performs similar in all locations, but FTP show a higher variability across locations and file sizes. For example, in US and Hong Kong, the download speed is higher than in Europe and UK, but the standard deviation is higher (Figure 2-3). +Aspera and Globus (https) perform similarly in all locations, but FTP shows higher variability across locations and file sizes. This variability in FTP performance may be due to factors such as network congestion, server load, or differences in infrastructure. For example, in the US and Hong Kong, the FTP download speed is higher than in Europe and the UK, but the standard deviation is also higher (Figures 2-3), suggesting less consistent performance. Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 5 Why: Adding an explanation for FTP's variability would provide additional context and insight, enhancing the reader's understanding of the protocol's behavior. However, the suggestion is less critical than grammatical corrections.	5
