Reviewer 2 Report

Dear Authors, 

I have the following comments:

1. Abstract seems premature and requires proper alignment with study objective. Clearly mention the originality in your abstract. 

2. Introduction section requires a thorough makeover with respect to the defining the gaps the study seems to accomplish. In present form, manuscript lacks the presentation of clear gaps 

 

3.literature review section seems very disconnected and didn't provide sufficient balance with theory and research framework. 

 

4. Methodology needs a makeover. How are biases handled??? The sampling universe also requires appropriate justification. 

 

5. Findings can be presented in a better way by providing a clear interpretation with the tables used. 

6. Manuscript suffers from major grammatical errors and must be proof read.

Reviewer 3 Report

Aim of the work is to analyze the effect of COVID-19 on the performance of Latin American individuals. Some suggestions are provided:

Abstract: more details (innovation) on the methodology

Introduction: the effects of the covid on the sustainable elements in everyday life must be discussed in a wider way. It could be useful to add a brief sentence on other issues affected by the covid, likes the ones analyzed in these references Tajani, F., Liddo, F. D., Guarini, M. R., Ranieri, R., & Anelli, D. (2021). An Assessment Methodology for the Evaluation of the Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Italian Housing Market Demand. Buildings, 11(12), 592 and Kocur-Bera, K. (2022). Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic Era on Residential Property Features: Pilot Studies in Poland. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 19(9), 5665. Moreover, add the uncovered issues of the other similar researches on the topic.

Theoretical Framework: synthetize this paragraph in order to be transparent, clear without doubts and highlights the main pillar on wich the work is based.

Reviewer 2 Report

Dear Author/s,

The manuscript has improved from the previous version. But, I still think that some modifications may be made in terms of reflecting upon the originality aspect of the study. I have the following comments with respect to the revised version:

1. Introduction section can be improved by listing down the key significant contribution of the study. The revised version still lacks in this parameter. You may add on the latest studies done on the similar themes to make the study better.

 

2. LR lacks the still lacks coherence. Try to make it more precise and succinct. Try to fill in the existing gaps in this section to make it better in readability. 

3. Try to make the implication section better to reveal the key findings which are beneficial to the practitioners and research scholars. Also, improve upon the long term and short term implications of this study.

4. The language still looks very premature. There are significant punctuation and grammatical errors in the manuscript which needs attention.

Reviewer 4 Report

1. Use a correct format of this journal to prepare the paper. This shows you how serious in preparing this paper.

2. Severo et al. (2021) is the fundamental theory used in this research. Why this is the best fit compared to others. No explanation is given.

3. Even you have discussed previous research, I still can get a clear picture on what is the actual problem of your research topic?

4. Research gap is not clear in this paper. 

4. For the methodology section, sampling is not clearly discussed. This includes the process of data selection and data collection.

I suggest the authors to revise this paper thoroughly.
