Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

This study aims to guide Ghanaian humanitarian organizations understand how CI can increase their influence and success. I think this study has several shortcomings. In this context, my recommendations for the study are listed below.

1. We can't talk about sampling when it comes to a target population. This is not a sampling method. The approach used in this study is to work with a small research population. The obtained results are only valid for this research population and can be generalized to this population.

2. The reasoning for method selection should be explained.

3. What is the size of the target universe? What percentage of them participated in the research?

4. Who are the experts whose opinions were consulted in the study? What criteria were taken into consideration? Are their evaluations equally weighted?

5. From which sources were the questions in the survey form taken? What is the measurement reliability and validity of these questions?

6. How was the reliability of the answers given by the participants examined in qualitative research?

7. The discussion section is insufficient in its present state. The results obtained in this study should be discussed in depth with the studies on the subject in the literature.

8. The limitations of the study should be stated.

9. In the study, evaluations were made based on statements containing uncertainty. In this context, methods defined under fuzzy sets can provide effective analysis of such data. This issue can be expressed as a recommendation for further research.
