What would you suggest to improve?
 +
 
 +
===Answer 1===
 +
Very clear and well written abstract. It would be good as a reader if you can include the findings from the analysis in the abstract. Consider the length of the sentences. for example:
 +
 
 +
*According to the research article "Project Governance – The Definition and Leadership Dilemma"; a majority of authors on project governance have a background in project management, where they attempt to create the project governance framework through a bottom-up approach. Due to a variety of projects in the industry, the range of stakeholders interest, different values and types, and complexity spectrum, the bottom-up strategy has its limitations when providing concise guidance to managers when executing and enforcing project governance.*

It is a matter of opinion but this sentences seemed a bit too long when I read the article.
