Feedback 1 | Reviewer name: Signe Bjerrum
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 first part of the abstract is good. It describes the topic briefly and how it is being presented in the article and how the topic relates to PPP-management. I would suggest to move the part of the abstract with the bullet points ("A KPI can be dissected as the following:......") to another section. In this part you are being more specific about what KPIs are and the abstract should only be a brief summary of what to expect reading 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
The logical flow works well for the reader. Because the article is quite short (approx. 2000 words) i would suggest using a bit more energy on describe what KPIs are and why they are important to ppp-management. More energy could also be used on the discussion part where additional views and approaches could be discussed see answer to question 7.
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
In general ok."
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
Missing reference for figure 1 and 2 who made it?. In general if you use a figure in an article you must refer to it in the text and use it. The figures are good but they should be more included in the text.
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
In order to make it a bit more relevant it would be a good idea to be critical on the implementation of KPIs and include different perspectives in the article (include research articles). What does the newest research say about KPIs?"
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
'See answer to question 7 - additional literature references research articles would make it more interesting
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
In general quite few references in the text. Annotated bibliography not finished but space is allocated. In terms of references you could look for additional literature or articles/research that reflects on KPIs and include that in your discussion in order to make it more interesting and relevant.

A very clear structure through the text. The table of content provides a good overview and you never get lost in the text. Structure is good (I like the short summary of the history as well). Furthermore I like the listings with the bullet points. It makes it very clear and easy to understand."

As already mentioned before, the article is well written. The style is good, also from an academic perspective.

Answer 6
"I like that you compare the PMBOK, PMI and Prince 2 definitions. It clearly shows that you put some effort into this section. Overall, the text is written very well and easy to understand. My suggestions, can you find any concrete examples for the KPIs? Like a real event? Apart from that, you're talking about the limitations, maybe you also have some benefits of the KPIs?
