Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

After careful scrutinizing of the content, it has been observed that the paper is good but has a lot of scope of further improvement in the following ways-

1.An extensive review of literature always adds to the quality of the content. Authors are required to add detail about the psycho social systems, how it impacts the feelings and mental well being of  humans. With the addition of the theories on Psycho social systems, the content quality may further be improved.

2. In the Introduction section, a small paragraph must be added by the authors indicating - how the research is unique and contributing to the knowledge reservoir  .

3.In the section materials and methods, authors have described about the sample size, authors are advised to tabulate the data ,as it will bring more clarity.

4.Heading 3.2.1 needs to be changed as it is not justifying the purpose.

5.More clarity is required for the data tabulated in Table No. 6

6.Reference section is very weak. Authors are required to add the references in alphabetical order and that too in the desired format of the journal. Authors must refer to  the guidelines provided by the Journal for this purpose.

7. Authors are required to revisit the whole paper and check the grammatical and spelling errors.

Reviewer 2 Report

The introduction presents a good background for the study but could be improved with a more clearly articulated problem statement and research questions.

Furthermore, the reference list is a little bit weak, author(s) need to strengthen their theoretical framework. A more critical synthesis of the literature (Refugee Students) and the potential construction of a research agenda will also improve the significance and value of the paper.

I feel that this is an interesting paper overall.
