Selected anonymous referee comments:
“This is something of a magnum opus paper.”
“Herculean effort of probing ~1500 scaling factors and determining how well they work and analysis of strengths and weakness. With the proliferation of scaling factors in the literature, this is a timely and needed effort.”
“There is no question that this work should be published, and I commend the authors for this valuable service to the community of users of quantum chemistry (as well as to developers)”
