Assess our Authors' Summaries

In each issue from 2 November to 7 December 2007, Science has experimented with brief, author-written summaries of two of its research papers, to provide readers with an accessible overview of the main results and significance of the research. You can help us assess this experiment by completing a very brief survey to provide feedback on these summaries. Each survey covers the two articles for which we've included summaries in a given issue, and should take no more than two to three minutes to complete.

Please follow the links below to read the summaries (and associated papers) and take the associated survey. Remember, each survey covers only a single issue, so be sure to come back and take the other surveys as they become available. And thanks for your help.
