The only thing is in the explanation of "Procurement", you mention what the article will cover, which you had already done in the abstract.

Abstract Feedback

Text clarity Coherent

Language Good

Description of the tool/theory/concept Good - the words/terms "tendering" or "tendering phase" and "contract management" sum up what is written nicely, so consider adding them in the abstract

Purpose explanation Well addressed. Procurement is a large topic that occurs almost during the entire project life cycle. Therefore, narrow your focus, as you're doing, to the tender phase of the project

References Missing appropriate references to mandatory list of references - see chapter 12 in PMBOK

Relevance of article Relevant. when writing the article, consider:

  1. Are you looking at the problem from the client's perspective or supplier's perspective? E.g. Company A selecting a contractor from a list of contractors bidding for a contract
  2. Explaining how the procurement team fits into the project team

Question 1 · TEXT

Quality of the summary:

Does the summary make the key focus, insights and/or contribution of the article clear?

What would you suggest to improve?

Answer 1

The summary makes a very clear understanding of the key focus, insights and contribution of the article.

Question 2 · TEXT

Structure and logic of the article:

Is the argument clear?

Is there a logical flow to the article?

Does one part build upon the other?

Is the article consistent in its argument and free of contradictions?

What would you suggest to improve?

Answer 2

There is a good, logical flow to the overall article and all sections build upon the other. The only thing is in the explanation of "Procurement", you mention what the article will cover, which you had already done in the abstract. In "Contracting in Management" you talk about what steps will be explored in the article. I would suggest to have that text separated from the text about Contracting in Management."

Question 3 · TEXT

Grammar and style:

Is the writing free of grammatical and spelling errors?

Is the language precise without unnecessary fill words?

What would you suggest to improve?

Answer 3

The article is well written and understandable mostly free of grammatical and spelling errors. I would suggest though, to have a punctuation mark when you present the enumeration.

Question 4 · TEXT

Figures and tables:

Are figures and tables clear?

Do they summarize the key points of the article in a meaningful way?

What would you suggest to improve?

Answer 4

The only figure presents the five steps of the subject quite well.

Question 5 · TEXT

Interest and relevance:

Is the article of high practical and / or academic relevance?

Is it made clear in the article why / how it is relevant?

What would you suggest to improve?

Answer 5

The article is of high relevance where it is stated clear how and why it is relevant.

Question 6 · TEXT

Depth of treatment:

Is the article interesting for a practitioner or academic to read?

Does it make a significant contribution beyond a cursory web search?

What would you suggest to improve?

Answer 6

It's a really interesting article for a practitioner to read. The only thing I think could be missing from the article is about the limitations, if there are any (where these are basically just steps).

Question 7 · TEXT

Annotated bibliography:

Does the article properly cite and acknowledge previous work?

Does it briefly summarize the key references at the end of the article?

Is it based on empirical data instead of opinion?

What would you suggest to improve?

Answer 7

There is an extra dot after the references and all references are missing in the Contract Management chapter. Other than that it's fine.
