Feedback 1 | Reviewer name: Emma B. K. Hansen

Question 1 · TEXT

Quality of the summary:

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

What would you suggest to improve? I think it is clear that you want to talk about both LBS and CBM but not if you want to focus on LSB or CBM: “The main focus of the article is to describe LBS, a Project Time Management tool, used by project managers in the construction industry.” You write this but the bullets just below the sentence show a lot of comparison of LBS and CBM plus the new title tells that it will be a comparison. Maybe you could write that it will focus on LBS with a comparison of CBM or make more bullets which focus on LBS. :-) Depending on your plan for the wiki of course.

Question 2 · TEXT

Structure and logic of the article:

Is the argument clear? Yes

Is there a logical flow to the article? Yes

Does one part build upon the other? Yes

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

What would you suggest to improve? You could add a conclusion, you have a headline called “LBS vs CPM” but also compare them before that e.g. in the part “Scheduling Principles.” Is the LBS vs CPM meant to be a sum up?

Question 3 · TEXT

Grammar and style:

Is the writing free of grammatical and spelling errors? Yes

Is the language precise without unnecessary fill words? Yes and nice to read!

What would you suggest to improve? Rephrase “whatever” in the very first sentence since it's better suited for spoken language.

Question 4 · TEXT

Figures and tables:

Are figures and tables clear? Yes

Do they summarize the key points of the article in a meaningful way? They are very useful for the understanding.

What would you suggest to improve? You mention the “The first process in Project Time Management, the Plan Schedule Management Process” It could be nice to have this process visualized for a reader who is not completely sure of the process.

Abstract Feedback

Text Clarity; Ok.

Language; Ok.

References; Ok.

Gantt charts are horizontal bar graphs, a visual representation, and not represent a scheduling technique, however is the common way to represent a CPM technique, do not forget to explain how LPS and LBS are graphically represented.

Annotated bibliography is a list of articles, books or documents followed by a briefly descriptive and evaluative paragraph, what you have under your annotated bibliography section are references this section is missing in your article, however is nice that you already established the structure of the article.

In general the abstract is ok, when developing the article don't forget to elaborate and describe the relevance for a Project Manager.
