Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

1.    Introduction is too short, include findings from the prior literature to show research gap develop study objective. 

2.    How practicable is your proposed model in real-time?

3.    What are the contributions of the study (practical and theoretical).

4.    What is the future scope of the study? Explanation in three lines seems not enough.  

5.    Consider the following related papers to embellish your paper:

Reviewer 2 Report

Paper review titled "Decision making of agile patterns in offshore software development outsourcing: A Fuzzy Logic based analysis"

 

Summary: The authors propose to use the fuzzy logic to quantitatively evaluate the decision of agile pattern inclusion in the catalog for offshore software development scenario.

 

Comments:

1. Justify the use of fuzzy logic over an alternative approach to the similar problem.

2. Overall the article is well written with few exceptions, specially spacing and typing mistakes may be corrected. 

3. Usefulness of the method has been demonstrated through the obtained results, however, no comparison with the existing methods is provided, please provide the rational for omitting the comparison with any of the similar approaches.

4. A deep proofread is required to improve the readability and understandability of the paper. 

5. I suggest to consider latest refers to support the novelty of this study.
