Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

-  In the summary section, it would be convenient to follow the style of the structured summaries, including 1) Background, 2) Methods, 3) Results and 4) Conclusion. (But without headings). It is a summary of the main sections seen in the article.
- In the Discussion and Conclusionns section, it would be appropriate to put all the conclusions listed followed one after the other. In this way, it helps the reader to better understand these conclusions.
- Reviewing the article, I have seen that on page 9, at the end of the second paragraph, there is an unnecessary exclamation mark.

Reviewer 2 Report

This submission is not particularly deep or innovative, but as a whole I consider it acceptable for publication.

Lines 99-103.  It could be that these researchers just aim high, preferring e.g. to publish in Nature or Science instead of a field journal.


I further have only some linguistic remarks

Line 28:  WRITE “a normalized citation indicator”  instead of “the normalized citation indicator”

Line 29 “Without deepening” WRITE “ Without going deeper”

Line 37. “he measured”  WRITE  “It measured”

Line 39 Although it is a quote I think the used language  is not correct. I would write “SNIP corrects for …”

Line55. “but it takes place as a direction” : I do not understand this sentence; what is ‘it” ?

Line 182 Replace “grounding” by “Based”
