Research on Profit Allocation of Agricultural Products Co-Delivery Based on Modified Interval Shapley Value

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

-        In the abstract please rewrite it and check grammatical errors.

-        In section 1, please revise the following long sentence, I could not get the concept and meaning of this. Check whole the paper for possible long sentence too. “The comprehensive business community of joint distribution of agricultural products is a number of agricultural product logistics and distribution enterprises on the basis of resource sharing and information interconnection, establish a sharing and cooperation information platform, gather core resources such as venues, vehicles, pallets, etc., and jointly invest in the introduction of information equipment to improve work efficiency, form a community with closely combined interests among members, jointly distribute benefits, bear risks together, and finally realize supply chain integration services such as circulation processing, refrigerated storage, common distribution and financial services”.

-        Start the beginning word with Capital letter: i.e: Introduction and etc…

-        In Section 1, the authors explained the problem but I would like to see some debate here, comparing similar work and the novelty of this work. At page 4 before section 2 the paragraph exactly repeated in the abstract and this is not good please omit this paragraph or change the abstract. You don’t need to bring result here, instead focus on the gap.

-        Why there is no any reference in section 3!?

-        In Section 3 usually we have research methodology, and section 4 data analysis, please adjust the title. Also depict research framework for better understanding of the method.

-        Please remove the numbering of sub heading instead use letters. There are many number used as heading it is confusing.

-        Before conclusion section it is better you add some discussion and managerial implication of your work which too weak. Please strengthen this section.

Reviewer 3 Report

This manuscript studies the impact on the profit allocation of participating companies and the contribution to the overall benefit when the average daily distribution volume of the shared distribution center fluctuates in different intervals. The topic is valuable, but there are the following major concerns:

-        First of all, the abstract is written poorly. The abstract should be based on the following format: 1- What is the purpose? 2- Research question 3- methodology 4- validation 5- results 6- why are your results significant?

-        Research questions and contributions are not defined well in the introduction section. Totally it should be organized better.

-        The numbering system is totally wrong, and I was confused while reading the paper. For example, under “3.1 The influencing factors of joint distribution of benefits”, there is a sub-section titled “2. Distribution operation”.

-        In section “3.2 Profit distribution model based on multi-weight interval Shapley value method is constructed”, the authors should cite recent methods for calculating the weights, such as Ordinal Priority Approach (OPA), etc. as well. This manuscript suffers from a poor citations in different sections.

-        The conclusion needs a major improvement. Significantly, limitations and future directions should be extended.
