Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The manuscript is well written. I have only some suggests for the authors.

The title seems too long. It is explanatory but not very attractive for searches. Figures can be improved (font color black, font size bigger, while colours choices ar good).

All those digits are needed (including decimals) in figue 6. It could be improved with scientific notation.

Reviewer 2 Report

The topic of the manuscript is relevant and meet the scope of a journal. Although the paper contains some drawbacks that must be addressed before publication.

 

1) The introduction should more precisely stress the necessity of the research, its aim originality and indicate the prevailing theoretical streams this paper is aimed to enrich.

2) The more broad theoretical background should be provided. In case of literature reviews (as it is the case) it is expected to see a brief of literature indicating the main research directions in an investigated area and show some scientific vacuum which is being aimed to fulfill with current manuscript.

3) The discussion section contain a lot of information not mentioned/investigated previously in the paper. It is not a welcomed approach.

4) The conclusion part should be enhanced and deepened. Future research directions should be provided.
