Reviewer 1 Report
11. correct the words "two different methodologies" 15, 16, 19. Define the acronyms DIB, TGB and TGA 16. Make clear that 'significant differences' are between before and after TGB 18. Reword this sentence as is suggests that DIB has 3 improvements but TGB has none. 19. Make clear why TGA is recommended above DIB Consider slight reworking of the abstract to make clear the distinction between TGA and TGB and present the results concisely. 24. Explain exactly what evolution has occurred. 103. Consider adding a sentence addressing the issues surrounding insider researcher and researcher/practitioner bias on. 116. (comment, no change required) Excellent consideration of ethical concerns gives a lot of credibility to this study 131 and 146. Expand upon what is meant by "experts'. 164. Is this the same as panel of experts as mentioned in 131 and 146? 192. Again, make clear if this panel of 13 experts is related to the 17 experts in line 164. 324. Consider adding a sentence address the limitations of the study (perhaps including researcher practitioner bias and the size of the research cohort). This is a well written, interesting and credible academic study. The attention to detail and statistical analysis gives confidence to the reader. Slight amendments to the Abstract will ensure potential readers are fully informed regarding the quality of this study. The suggestions made, which are minor additions, are not critical but would add further polish to this excellent research paper. Thank you for the opportunity to review your paper and I wish you every success in your future research.Author Response
