<p>Dear Stefi, </p>
<p>Thank you for taking the time, I really appreciate your
comments! </p>
<p>I'll take today to work on the paper. </p>
<p>Regarding the case studies, I agree that we need to reframe them
as conceptual. If you can suggest some language or references to
fix, please do! I took note of the references you suggested,
particularly to justify the cross-country comparison, which is the
most difficult part for me. </p>
<p><br>
Jonas, is it okay if I send it this afternoon? </p>
<p>Best, <br>
Giulia</p>

Dear all, this is a great starting point for a paper. I mean: it
is ALMOST “good enough” for a conference paper, but needs
substantive work for consideration by a journal. In any case, it
is impressive how quickly you managed to put this together, so:
my congrats! It bonds well for our group <3 </div>

Now, I was not feeling very well today, and I only managed to
get to page 13 (until but excluding the Findings). I will resume
tomorrow early morning. </div>

<div dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.5;">Nature
of the case studies and of the paper more in general. This
is not an empirical paper, but conceptual; case studies are
(it seems to be) illustrative rather than full-fledged
empirical accounts (although there is some empirical
analysis). I think this needs to be clarified in the
abstract and in the introduction of the paper. No need to be
defensive here, but to pre-empt reviewer concerns without
overpromising. More importantly,
<span style="font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">from a
social science perspective, you need to explain "what is a
case a case of".. and why you can compare across tech
families and across "country" case (with one being a
supranational entity, actually). I can suggest some
language here as a quick fix… </span></div>

<div dir="ltr" role="presentation">[structural] In general, it
is good to signal the structure in a section: e.g., instead
of a list of “problems” associated with regulatory data
infrastructure, which risks coming across as a “soup”,
enumerate the problems you are subsequently describing. It
helps following the argument. </div>
