Neuroeconomics in Cooperatives: Hierarchy of Emotional Patterns in the Collective Decision-Making Process for Sustainable Development

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This article is very interesting, which filling a certain gap in the research in this field so far. It is a pity that the non-published materials are not in English. Nevertheless, I have some comments that may improve the reception of this text:

• is it possible to introduce sub-items in the literature review? it is very difficult to read these 9 pages without a stop, without breaking down into important issues; maybe worth consider shortening this part
• the text clearly lacks indications to refer to figures or tables (e.g. figure 2, table 6)
• you need to graphically improve table 9 and table 10.Best regards

Reviewer 2 Report

Dear authors,

 

Your paper is good but very difficult to read, especially because there is not an equilibrium between the papers' sections. The literature review is too long. without cutting the references, I suggest to reduce it a little bit.

Please try to highlight better your contributions.

Reviewer 3 Report

The author of the research paper” Neuroeconomics in Cooperatives: Hierarchy of Emotional Patterns in the Collective Decision-Making Process for Sustainable Development presents a topic very relevant to neuroeconomics in cooperatives related to decision making process for sustainable development.

Neuroeconomics is a fairly new discipline, and one of its challenges is understanding financial decision-making so this paper shows interesting ideas about this topic.

However, my main concern focus on the lack of literature review and especially on recent literature.

Let me suggest some very recently references on this topic: Special Issue "Advances in Neuroeconomics": https://www.mdpi.com/journal/brainsci/special_issues/Advances_Neuroeconomics.

Some relevant references about this are: Ortiz-Teran, E.; Diez, I.; Lopez-Pascual, J. An ALE Meta-Analysis on Investment Decision-Making. Brain Sci. 2021, 11, 399. https://doi.org/10.3390/brainsci11030399, and Sánchez-Núñez, P.; Cobo, M.J.; Vaccaro, G.; Peláez, J.I.; Herrera-Viedma, E. Citation Classics in Consumer Neuroscience, Neuromarketing and Neuroaesthetics: Identification and Conceptual Analysis. Brain Sci. 2021, 11, 548. https://doi.org/10.3390/brainsci11050548

Finally, I do suggest to rewrite the literature review and also to rewrite the conclusions trying to highlight the results of the paper and to include some limitations and future researches to the paper.
