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 is short and clear and introduces the reader to the topic quickly and structured. No improvements.

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

The structure of the article is built intuitive and has a clear focus of the essentials of SL-framework. Maybe the only thing to point out is a few concrete examples. This is already done a lot, but every time when defining a new aspect of the SL-framework, it is nice to be presented with an example. (Really just a small ‘extra detail’)

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 use of language is academic and emphasizes the points made in the text. Only very few spelling mistakes. No real improvements.

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 table used visualizes the topic well and is easy to understand. No improvements.

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 highly relevant to project management, and the article underlines why the function of a SL-framework can be useful for an organization. Only improvement could be a connection between SL and ‘project, program and portfolio management’, in order to meet with the curriculum.

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

Given the amount of words of the task the article treats the topic into depths. Surely you could write about this topic for all eternity but considered the requirements of the task the subject is explained thoroughly.

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

The bibliography gives a short and well introduction to 3 of the references used. Dunno if all the references should have an explanation in the bibliography or just the most important. Else no improvements.
