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 abstract is good, but there are many long sentences and no breaks so it can make it a bit hard to read. It does make clarify the focus of the article, but I had to read the abstract three times to makes sure word information it gave. //Solved: many sentences have been rephrased or made shorter.
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 article is very clear and the flow of the information is good, though I don't think the headlines match the sections well or at least they do not help the flow of the article(in my opinion). The article is very true to the abstract.//Solved: I kept the main headlines as they made sense for me but added sub-chapter headlines to make it more clean.
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
Overall the language is fine. In my opinion some refinement of sentences could help, but I don't see any actual mistakes. When PRINCE2 is desribed, the shortcut is explained twice right after each other.//Solved: Fixed sentences and erased the duplication of the same information.
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
I find the figure very helpfull and they do support the text very 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
We have project manager to ensure succes, so to define the factors of succes and the difference in project succes and project management succes is highly relevant. It is also of high practice relative to the length of the article. Maybe it could be relevant to include a section about how these informations are relevant for project managers or how they can use the information when managing. //Solved: In the end of application chapter, I added a section on how a PM manager can reach success in managing a project.

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 language is fine, and there are not too many fil words. However, I think there are some long sentences. More breaks would be good. When you write, “One of them and probably the most widely used is the PRINCE2 (Projects IN Controlled Environments) method. It stands for projects in a controlled environment.” Maybe you can take away the last part, because it is already stated.
