Signals are an important part of the JoPP peer review process. They are intended to widen the scope of publishable articles by placing the reputational cost of publishing an imperfect article on authors, rather than on the journal.
Please note:
Positive signal = 1, negative signal = 0, positive/negative signal = 0.5
Only signals marked with a “*” are used to calculate the JoPP Signal.

Commendations
Reviewers indicate their appreciation of the article in the form of a 50 word statement.
Reviewer A
The authors have now more thoroughly positioned their work within the broader literature, and the modified paper structure enables a better read of the platform concept and its innovative aspects. Overall, I consider that my review points have been addressed (including in the plans for future research) and that the paper is suitable for publication.
Reviewer B
The article offers an excellent description and in-depth analysis of the remarkable practice of collaborative note taking set up in the case of Teixidora in Barcelona. I believe this project can serve as a model and this article is co-constitutive to its development.
Reviewer C
This is a very interesting article documenting an ongoing process of establishing a collaborative note taking methodology in events. I wish some of my suggestions for improvement, especially in addressing the truly “social” dimension of the problem would be better addressed, but still this is a very valuable work that will hopefully continue and inspire also others to replicate in different contexts.
