be written by multiple researchers, each with his own affiliation.
• An article has a unique title, an abstract, and a date. Each article should be published
in a single journal. Each journal has a unique name, and a ranking.
• A reviewer is a person that reviews some articles, and an article may be reviewed by
multiple reviewers. The system should keep track of who reviewed an article, and
what is his comment on it.
• A reviewer has a unique ssn, a name, and a specialty.
Design a representation of the data in terms of entities, attributes and relationships between entities.
Construct an ERD diagram to depict this representation. Show the cardinalities using (min, max) or
CHEN notation and all necessary information.
