Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Thanks for the interesting study! Overall a well written article.

There are some remarks related to the article. It would be interesting to know the methodology in which information from secondary sources and interviews was collected (which procedure was before) and how information from different sources was interpreted.

It should also be noted that for a sample of this size (n = 18), the disadvantage / problem is the amount of information and its analysis rather than the small size of the sample. Therefore, the whole spectrum of the phenomenon may not reach the findings of this article.

Artifacts are not only material but also mental and therefore (partially) overlap with other elements in Table 3.

A significant technical shortcoming is the absence of Appendix A in the text of the article (cited in line 279).

In general, it is not a good idea to use a reference in the abstract as in the main body of the article.

The acronym DS (line 316) also appears to be misleading and there is no explanation for HO (line 433). Table 4 is presented as with two headings - this is probably a formatting error.

Reviewer 2 Report

The article is carefully prepared. The layout of the manuscript is clear and logical. However, authors should improve/rethink:

  • in section "Data Collection" the Table 1 is not clear according to the information about 40 interviews. It should be better explained. I cannot see Appendix A - maybe it is a problem? If not - it should be changed.
  • Authors should consider whether the form of table 2 is the best solution? Example of interviewee questions seems to be not enough. I suggest preparing"Key interviewee questions" if the table will be developed or removing this table at all.
