Evolutionary Game and Simulation of Collaborative Green Innovation in Supply Chain under Digital Enablement
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Dear Authors,
Congratulations for your work.
However, in order to be published, I suggest a few changes, observed below:
Abstract:
Your abstract is quite confusing. I suggest following strictly this structure:
General theme approach
Narrowing to your more specific theme
Your research problem
Purpose of your paper
Methodology used to reach the purpose
A few results.
Keywords: digitization, is this the right word you wanted to use?
Methodology:
I would rather have a section explaining how data was collected in order to serve as base for the modelling.
Theoretical background:
Only three papers from 2022.
In summary, digital enablement plays a positive role in promoting collaborative green innovation in the supply chain. Companies must make full use of digital technology to improve the efficiency of collaborative green innovation and promote the sustainable development of the manufacturing industry.
Hypothesis test:
I am more used to see them also presented in figures, in order to better understand the general idea and implications and influences among the variables. Please, illustrate it.
Conclusions:
The authors used so many mathematical resources in the paper, making it complex to understand. Nevertheless, the final considerations and practical implications are not that clear. A practitioner might read it and not find at once how digital enablement makes green innovation more feasible. Please, simplify final explanations, be clearer, and bring up more practical implications.
Warm regards

Reviewer 3 Report
The authors discuss the impact of digital enablement on collaborative green innovation in supply chain enterprises. They develop an evolutionary game model for both upstream and downstream supply chain companies under digital enablement. The area of research is quite useful with the following concerns:
1. The Introduction has been improved. However, the multiple references should be replaced with single citation.
2. Authors need to study recent articles on Cost-effective subsidy policy for growers and biofuels-plants in closed-loop supply chain, Economically independent reverse logistics of customer-centric closed-loop supply chain, and some others to improve the review.
3. Hypothesis 2 should be put in more concise manner that improves the readability regarding the proportional combination of two game players.
4. Table 2 and Table 4 hardly follow a standard pattern. Scopes of improvements can be seen.
