Thought of clarifying about 10th & 13th requirement in the final assignment: 

for 10th requirement

The expectation was “Are the experimental methods described adequately? (if applies)”.  For your better understanding, I am rewriting the question – “Are there any appropriate methods (e.g., research methods, analysis methods) that have been used in the article or is it evidence based?”Hope this question is clear & specific.

Similarly, for 13th requirement:

Just indicate whether the article provide any implications or not.
