Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The paper is an excellent presentation of this kind of archiving/research and highly significant for the future of Serbian musicology.

There are a few non-idiomatic ways of expressing ideas which could be corrected very quickly.

Reviewer 2 Report

The article deals with a very up-to-date topic, which is important for global humanities and arts – applied musicology. On the example of their more than ten years of professional activism in promoting particular content (less available works of Serbian composers), the authors provide guidelines and experiences in this new scientific field. The paper is written clearly and systematically. The "Introduction" presents the history and context of the project "Serbian Composers", a multimedia online archive. In "Applied/activist musicology and the user-generated internet archives" the theoretical foundations of applied musicology (based on Medić 2022) are presented, as well as the problem nodes of the treatment of the YouTube platform as an informal archive. In "Serbian Composers YouTube channel: Filling the gap?", aspects of the applied work on editing the thematic multimedia channel are presented in detail: sources, copyright, playlists (with the table where are given playlists according to composers, genre/instrumentation, composer - cycle/genre , performers), community. "Conclusion" brings an underlining of the initial ideas and further possibilities of influence and development of the mentioned channel. In the references, it would be necessary to include references on applied ethnomusicology as more developed field, especially those related to sound archival and applied ethnomusicology (e.g. Marija Dumnić, "Project Digitization and Catalogization of Phonoarchive of the Institute of Musicology SASA': Experiences and Perspectives", Pregled Nacionalnog centra za digitalizaciju (17), 2010: 39–44, http://elib.mi.sanu.ac.rs/files/journals/ncd/17/ncd17039.pdf).
