How a Strategic Scoping Canvas Can Facilitate Collaboration between Partners in Sustainability Transitions
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This is a process description paper. Therefore, I believe it will be helpful for those who are looking for ideas around the facilitation of partnership, particularly in developing countries.
The abstract is dense and inaccessible. I have made some editorial suggestions on how it could be made accessible. Once one gets over the density of abstract, the article reads well.
I recommend the following minor editing:
Line 14 – 20 are dense and read more line series on fragments. I suggest that the author replace them with lines 38 -40.
In line 20, the sentence begins with “in this short contribution….” I recommend that authors replace “in this contribution” with “in this paper”. The same sentence in line 12 ends with “as a way of addressing this situation” please replace situation with the actual nouns that specify what the paper is addressing.
Author Response
Dear Reviewer,
Thank you for your comments! We have addressed these in the following way:
Line 14 – 20 are dense and read more line series on fragments. I suggest that the author replace them with lines 38 -40.
We did exactly that.
In line 20, the sentence begins with “in this short contribution….” I recommend that authors replace “in this contribution” with “in this paper”. The same sentence in line 12 ends with “as a way of addressing this situation” please replace situation with the actual nouns that specify what the paper is addressing.
We changed the beginning of the sentence as suggested.
We adapted " as a way of addressing this situation" to "as a way of enhancing shared understanding among stakeholders". (Lines 17-18 in adapted version).
The three authors of the paper agree with these changes and we hope that these changes are in line with your expectations as well.
Sincerely,
Seerp Wigboldus
