Text clarity	Take a look into the punctuation
Description of the tool/theory/concept	Not enough described. Make sure you clearly define the focus and describe it your tool/theory/concept.
Explanation of the purpose of the article	The purpose is not explained
Relevance to curriculum	It can be relevant to the curriculum but at the moment it is not clearly related to project, program or portfolio management.

Other	The abstract should be a summary of your article. Take a look into some articles in the ConceptBox to see the structure of the abstract

Feedback 2 | Reviewer name: Mads Kronholm Petersen

Question 1 Quality of the summary: Does the summary make the key focus, insights and/or contribution of the article clear?

• A: Yes.

What would you suggest to improve?

• A: Nothing, except the layout. Make it a bit more rich with some line breaks.

Question 2 Structure and logic of the article: Is the argument clear?

• A: Yes.

Is there a logical flow to the article?

• A: Yes. It is described what the following consist of, which is nice for the reader to know.

Does one part build upon the other?

• A: Yes, fine with the current skeleton.

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

• A: Yes.

What would you suggest to improve?

• A: Add sources and add more text. The end of the article is thin.

Question 3 Grammar and style: Is the writing free of grammatical and spelling errors?

• A: Yes.

Is the language precise without unnecessary fill words?

• A: The wording is fine. I would recommended delete the word “nowadays” in the abstract.
• Note 1: I like the use of bullet’s, bold and italic and quotes.
• Note 2: Move the , after the word “planning” in stages of negotiation. And use . after “below”.

Question 4

Figures and tables: Are figures and tables clear?

• A: Not used.

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

• A: Not used.

What would you suggest to improve?

• A: Add tables and figures.

Question 5 Interest and relevance: Is the article of high practical and / or academic relevance?

• A: Fine.

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

• A: Yes, the abstract explains it quite good.

Question 6 Depth of treatment: Is the article interesting for a practitioner or academic to read?

• A: Yes.

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

• A: I think it does.

Question 7 Annotated bibliography: Does the article properly cite and acknowledge previous work?

• A: No, since there is no specific reference. I like the use of “According to Lewicki,…”.

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

• A: No.

Is it based on empirical data instead of opinion?

• A: I cannot tell, since the reference is not clear. Stating the author in the text as mention above, proves that some of it is based on empirical data.
