Management of Externalities in the Context of Sustainable Development of the Russian Arctic Zone
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Dear Authors:I make several comments on your paper,
First of all, the title does not correspond to the reality of the work; the concept of sustainable development should be mentioned.
Given the international audience of the journal, it is necessary to include a map of the geographical area mentioned in the paper. It would be necessary to expand the references to the socioeconomic context of the area; very little data is provided to contextualize the work.
The methodology could be improved, the models applied should be expanded and better explained.
A review of the literature is more than necessary as it would put the work in its context, lacking it, we do not know the opinions of other authors on the subject to be treated, which completely hinders the work.
Table 1 does not have any citations, the elements should be related to a literature review (something that this work lacks). There is a very interesting corpus on this subject for both arctic and Antarctic zones.
Image 2 should be in color for better visualization.
The discussion is really a presentation of results. Only lines 306-308 and the figure included could be considered discussion, but it should be expanded and confronted with contributions seen in the literature review.
The proposal corresponds more to a technical report than to an academic article. It is necessary to better explain the contributions and make a comparison with the results obtained.
Good luck

Reviewer 2 Report
Overall the information was well presented and the study sheds light into an area that I was not very well informed. So it was an interesting read for me. However, I feel the abstract requires to be presented by enriching the information presented and fixing the minor language errors.

Reviewer 3 Report
Methodology: The authors should present which of the research paradigms are going to be used (qualitative paradigm, quantitative paradigm, mixed research, triangulation). The authors should also present which of the mentioned research methods belongs to an individual paradigm and which of these research methods are going to be used in the theoretical and which in the empirical part of their research.
Conclusion: The table (Table 5) is not suitable for the chapter conclusion. The content of named table could be also presented without the table - in the form of text. In Conclusion authors also have not presented future steps for their research in this field. There is also lacking answer to question: What is a original contribution in this article?
