REVIEWER COMMENTS AND THE FEEDBACK REPORT
Each rating is associated with general comments.
For example, suppose a reviewer reviews a particular proposal and gives a rating of “3” for the
clarification of the proposed study. The general comment would be: “The research question is
formulated. A research question is derived from the research issue.”
IMPORTANT NOTES
Remember, where the item criterion is not explicitly addressed then allocate a low rating (1).
Good academic writing is clear and transparent. If a reader needs to guess at whether an issue
has been implemented and addressed or not, then the writing is neither clear nor transparent.
Only give a high rating (3) if the item criteria have been explicitly addressed.
