Reviewer 2 Report

My review concerns the third version of this paper. I read the manuscript and the comments and suggestion proposed by the previous reviewers. I also read the response from the authors.

In my opinion, the manuscript is well structured and the SLR is very interesting.

The authors have already received very good reviews and now they have revised their paper according to the reviewers’ recommendations.

The authors have already submitted their manuscript to proofreading. Nevertheless, I found some minor mistakes, and not only in the new parts (i.e. the sentences written in red). Please, correct the following ones:

Line 53: “Which highlighted …”: don’t start a sentence with “Which”.

Line 60: don’t write abbreviations. Write “management” instead of “mgmt.”.

Lines 58-63: please, check the syntax of the new sentence.

Line 72: goal --> goals (plural)

Line 79: “First, this the first …” --> … this is the first …

Line 155:  “This includes (e.g. CSR …)” --> please, write the object between the verbs and the examples in brackets.

Line 202: “… from (2004-2020) shows …” --> write 2004-2020 without brackets.

Line 304: the title should probably be “Research factors affecting CSR …”

Line 306: check the use of the verb “affect” again.

Lines 309-310: please, check the syntax of the new sentence.

Lines 317-321: please, check the syntax of the new sentence.

Line 27: “Besides, other group …” --> "... another..."

Lines 332-336: please, check the syntax of the new sentence. I can’t find the subject.

Line 346: “In contrast, A similar …” --> use lowercase for “a”.

Line 359: write 27.77% in brackets.

Line 393: “… is increased insignificant amount …” --> “… has increased in significant amount …”

Line 398: “the factors affecting on CSR implication and disclosure is still considerable” --> “… affecting CSR … are still …”

Appendix A, Entry 51: “… participants Were included” --> use lowercase for “were”.

Reviewer 3 Report

This article makes a systematic review of studies related to corporate social responsibility (CSR) focused on its implications and dissemination in higher education institutions (HEIs). The argument of the article has an adequate theoretical and conceptual basis. The investigated topic is of interest to the scientific community. The research has been properly designed and the methods are appropriate. The authors are congratulated for choosing an interesting topic for the educational context.

Based on the above, I would like to make a general assessment of the proposal (relevance, structure, method, discussion, strengths and weaknesses, etc.)

Regarding the searches, they could have been complemented with others carried out in databases such as SCOPUS. Many relevant studies are left out of the WOS. Regarding searches indicate that the strings could be refined to obtain better results. For example, instead of "CSR disclosure in universities" "CSR and disclosure and universit *"

The methodology proposed by Fink (2019) has been followed and it would have been good to illustrate it with a PRISMA type scheme to see the sequence of the filtering of studies.

The analysis of the studies seems to me optimal, although it can be given more depth. The added texts improve the previous proposal.

Conclusions could be improved by focusing on the findings found.

The research and practical implications are clearly identified in the article.
