Reviewer A
Suggestions which would improve the quality of the paper but are not essential for publication:
a. Describe the acronym meaning the first time it appear (even if the first time is at the abstract).
b. Review English and word spacing ( a lot of errors, recommend to use latex to format).
c. class XI - as the readers might not be from Indonesia, use the age of the students as well.
d. Validation is a complex, and umbrella, term. use a reference to characterize which context of validation you are using. "checking the product against" is a typical approach towards verification (not validation).
Response:
a. The acronyms have been described b. The misspelling has been revised
c. The age of class XI has been added. Class XI aged 14-15 years old d. The word “validation” has been revised into “verification”
Changes which must be made before publication:
a. Better ellaboration of the methodology, explain it with a support figure.
b. table 1 - explain the criteria of the "Assessment Aspects". Only through the table, I don´t know what you are testing about each aspect.
c. re-write the conclusion - there is no conclusion whatsoever
d. Must review the reference formatting, and some that are broken, as:
"Pengembanganperangkatpembelajaranbiologiberbasispendekatansaintifikpadakonsepekosistembagisiswasek olahmenengahpertama", when it should be: PENGEMBANGAN PERANGKAT PEMBELAJARAN BIOLOGI BERBASIS PENDEKATAN SAINTIFIK PADA KONSEP EKOSISTEM BAGI SISWA SEKOLAH MENENGAH PERTAMA
e. The structure is correct. The data seems right, but is not well explained. Through the way they describe the experiment, it is not easy (or even correct) to understand what they want to show. The outcomes are "common sense", and seen in other similar experiments, so they are right.
f. need to show some illustrations of the textbook, and use pictures.
Responses:
a. The figures have been added in the manuscript.
b. The assessment aspects which are tested in Table 1 and 2 are;
1. Student book format; which is validated by the suitability of the product with the recommended textbook (the final result is declared valid).
2. Content; which is validated by the conformity of the content/teaching materials with the recommended curriculum (the final result is declared valid).
3. Language and writing; which is validated by the accuracy and simplicity of the language/writing used or conformity (the final result is declared valid).
4. Benefits and usefulness; which is validated by the assessment whether the product for students can support learning activities to achieve learning objectives or not (the final results are valid).
5. Learning; which is validated by the assessment whether the product makes the student active in the learning activities or not (the final result is declared valid).
6. Media; which is validated by the product used as a medium and appeals to students in learning (the final result is declared valid).
7. Visual design; which is validated by the clarity and attractiveness of the product visual design (the final result is declared valid).
c. In summary, Biology textbook integrated with Augmented Reality (AR) can be used in Biology learning activities because it has a validity, practicality, and high effectiveness. In addition, the AR enable students to
learn actively, creatively and support the fun learning. Therefore, it is expected that the product of this study becomes a model for the development of textbook media and AR so that it can further refine the media used in the learning activities
d. The reference formatting has been revised.
e. The explanation has been added in the text.
f. The illustrations have been added in the text.
Reviewer B
Changes which must be made before publication:
Indeed the topic of this paper, i.e the use of augmented reality in biology textbooks is very interesting, and there are of course some other merits to the paper. However, the paper has some major scientific
shortcomings that unfortunately renders it not publishable. In the following I adress the major points:
1. The authors attempts to demonstrate evidence for validity and effectiveness of textbooks. What is validity of a textbook and how can one measure validity of textbooks? The paper fails to make this clear. The research question, the research problem and the rationale is thus not clear and understandable. Central concepts not explained.
2. There is no previous research declared in relation to validity of textbooks (or anything else for that matter).
3. The method chapter (which is less than half of a page) lack fundamental methodological descriptions such as: what has been studied, how and when was it studied, who and how many participated, what was the context, what methods were used, why and how were they used, how was the AR book developed, etc etc.
4. Due to above, its impossible to understand the result chapter and evaluate its validity and reliability.
5. Language and text processing needs to be improved. Already in the abstract there is a number of mistakes.
The ideas presented in the abstract is not understandable, which is rather problematic.
Responses:
Reviewer B
1. The verification of this study was conducted through verification of textbook formats, contents, collation, language, benefits, media, and visual design performed by 2 expert validators and also verification of the field trials by groups of students who have a preference with the research subject. The effectiveness of textbook measured by the value of student learning outcomes obtained after the textbook is used in learning activities. It is said to be effective if the score of the students achieve the minimum criteria of minimum mastery (KKM) that is determined in the Biology subject of 78.
2. According to Mohammdi, M and Abdi H (2014) textbooks that can be used as guidelines for teachers and students in learning activities is a textbook that has the construction, consistency, and instructions. According to Richards & Reanandya in Mohammadi M et al (2014), textbooks which sold in bookstores are not effectively used in learning because not in accordance with the competence that must be taught or not a student needs in learning which can decrease the creativity of teachers, and the price is too expensive. Therefore it is necessary to develop teaching materials/textbooks designed for learning activities. This research problem is based on the low biology learning outcomes as a result of the lack of interesting material/textbooks and media used by teachers. Therefore, the reason for this research is to realize the active, creative, effective, and fun learners by presenting textbooks integrated with AR media as the product of this research in learning activities
3. There are two teaching materials in the textbook; the excretion system and digestive system while the presentation time followed roster semester and the curriculum. The number of students who became the subject of research was 140 students and was divided into 4 classes. Textbook and AR on learning activities were served as a source and learning media while the learning method used is a combination of cooperative learning, discussion, and frequently asked questions.
5. The language spelling and mistakes have been revised

Income received from all of these sources is used to further the interests of the Journal.
Once accepted for publication, your Article will be published in the Journal, and will be stored and distributed electronically, in order to meet increasing library and faculty demand and to deliver it as part of the Journal, as an individual article or as part of a larger collection of articles to meet the specific requirements of a particular market. By signing this Author Copyright Agreement and assigning copyright you agree to Inderscience making such arrangements.
It may be that the Author is not able to make the assignment solely by him- or herself:
a. If it is appropriate, the Author’s employer may sign this agreement. The employer may reserve the right to use the Article for internal or promotional purposes (by indicating on this agreement) and reserve all rights other than copyright.
b. If the Author is a UK Government employee, the Government will grant a non-exclusive licence to publish the Article in the Journal in any medium or form provided that Crown Copyright and user rights (including patent rights) are reserved. This also applies to other Commonwealth countries.
c. If the Author is a US Government employee and the work was done in that capacity, the assignment applies only to the extent allowed by US law.
Under the UK’s Copyright Design and Patents Act 1988, the Author has the moral right to be identified as the Author wherever the Article is published, and to object to its derogatory treatment or distortion. Inderscience encourages assertion of this right; it represents best publishing practice and is an important safeguard for all authors. Paragraph 4 above asserts the Author’s moral rights, as required by the Act.
Authors can use their Article for non-commercial purposes after publication in these ways:
• Posting the Author's Original* on the Author's personal or departmental web pages and/or institutional repositories and/or subject repositories without embargo and sharing it as much as desired. For open [freely available] repositories, if the manuscript was funded by either RCUK or the Wellcome Trust, use the CC-BY-NC: Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 4.0. Otherwise, follow the licensing restrictions applied to all material copyrighted by Inderscience;
• Posting the Accepted Manuscript*
- Internally sharing the Accepted Manuscript within their research collaboration groups only, at any point after publication - Posting the Accepted Manuscript on institutional repositories and/or subject repositories, subject to an embargo of 12 months
after publication (Green Open Access)
- Posting the Accepted Manuscript on academic social networks or social media subject to an embargo of 24 months after publication (Green Open Access)
Note for authors of articles funded by Research Councils UK (RCUK) and Wellcome Trust and other governmental organisations: If you are required to deposit your accepted manuscript into your institutional repository within 90 days of acceptance and our embargo period is longer than that permitted by your funder, please choose Gold Open Access. If this is not possible for you, please speak to your institution about applying for an exception to HEFCE's Research Excellence Framework policy.
• Posting the Version of Record* to a subject-based repository such as PubMed Central only in cases where a funding agency providing the grant for the research on which the Article is based requires this of the Author, upon condition that it shall not be accessible until after six months from Inderscience's publication date. The PDF of the VoR should not be posted anywhere else unless it has been published as Open Access. This also applies to any Author who has published with Inderscience in the past;
• Using the article in further research and in courses that the Author is teaching;
• Incorporating the article content in other works by the Author.
In all cases, acknowledgement in the form of a full citation must be given to the journal as the original source of publication, together with a link to the journal webpage and/or DOI as soon as they are available.
*Versions of a paper defined as
• Author's Original = Author's manuscript prior to peer review [often called a 'preprint']
• Accepted Manuscript = Accepted version of author's manuscript, accepted for publication, i.e. post-review, pre-typesetting. We recommend retaining this version for future posting.
• Version of Record = Publisher's version of finished article
Inderscience, as Publisher, reserves the right to refuse to publish your Article where its publication creates – or it reasonably believes may create – legal liability, or where circumstances come to light that were not known to the Editor, including prior publication of the whole or part of the Article, conflict of interest, manifest error, etc. Inderscience is the ultimate custodian of academic quality and integrity, and will ensure that this will be done only in exceptional circumstances and on reasonable grounds. In such circumstances the Article will be returned to the Author together with all rights in it.
