The Past and Future of Mid-Infrared Studies of AGN
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The paper by Sajina et al. is a very valuable work of review. I recommend acceptance of the paper as it is.

Thank you for your feedback. We have made some minor revisions to the paper specifically fixing a number of typos and adding abbreviation definitions as needed. We also added one more reference that came up after the original submission.
Reviewer 2 Report
This review provides a quite comprehensive overview of the current status and future prospects of using mid-infrared observations to explore and define the physical properties and processes in active galactic nuclei. I have no scientific suggestions. Below are some typographical errors that I noticed.
Abstract: The acronym "BH" needs to be defined
sec. 1:
lines 52-53: a mechanisms --> a mechanism
Fig. 1 caption: siliate --> silicate
sec. 2:
line 93: was done --> were done
line 97: 3C273 is classified as a quasar, not a radio galaxy
linr 136: high high-resolution --> high-resolution
line 139: both --> not only
lines 143: galaxy --> galaxies
Fig. 2 caption:
looks much the SED --> looks much like the SED [or better: appears very similar to the SED]
sec. 3:
lines 160-162: This sentence should be rewritten - the double occurrence of "shows" and the "which shows" for apparently a plural noun is confusing
line 163: is commonly --> are commonly
line 164: has been --> have been
line 170: later --> latter
line 181: if the AGN-dominated if the AGN componet --> if the AGN component
line 213: dominates --> dominated
AGN-dominated system -->AGN-dominated systems
lime 250: unobscured lines --> unobscured line
Fig. 4 caption:
symbols represents --> symbols represent
line 262: divided --> displayed (?)
lines 275 + 361: later --> latter
Fig. 6 caption: hard X-rays selected --> hard X-ray selected
sec. 3.3.2:
line 335: a somewhat shallower slopes --> somewhat shallower slopes
Fig. 7 caption + line 369: lumionosity --> luminosity
sec. 3.3.3:
lines 384-385: regions emission --> either: region emission ... or: regions' emission
lines 387: an found --> and found
sec. 4.1:
line 492: are be --> are
sec. 4.3: The first sentence is not a complete sentence. It does not say what was discussed.
sec. 5.1:
line 602: metallicty --> metallicity
line 617: ionizaton --> ionization
line 620: is study -- >is to study
line 635: transition require --> transition requires
sec. 5.3:
line 733: difficultly --> difficulty
sec. 6.2:
lines 842-843: see example --> see, for example,
line 847: diagnostics lines --> diagnostic lines
Fig. 18 caption: missing a closed parenthesis in the 5th line
sec. 7:
line 918: an
