This is a nicely written article and one that is admirably succinct. Substantively, the topic is an important one. In this article, the author considers the Dickson-Siegel-Eichler-Roy (DSER) elementary orthogonal subgroup of the orthogonal group of a non-degenerate quadratic space with a hyperbolic summand over a commutative ring, introduced by Roy. In addition proven set of commutator relations among the elementary generators of the DSER elementary orthogonal group. As an application, the author proves that this group is perfect and an action version of the Quillen's local-global principle for this group is proved. By analyzing all possible multi-commutator formulas in the formulas in the DSER elementary orthogonal group, it will be interesting to explore similar results for this group. Also, adding a few examples could increase the appeal of the article.
