Ask for feedback that gives you something to change
Tell me what you think is easy to ask and hard to answer. A narrow question helps another person offer useful feedback without taking over your work.
Choose the decision you are testing
Ask whether the introduction explains the problem or whether a chart is readable. Do not request judgment on everything at once.
Give necessary context
Explain the intended audience and stage of the work. A rough draft needs different feedback from a nearly finished submission.
Close the loop
Thank the reviewer and say what you changed. You can decline a suggestion while still explaining the reason respectfully.
