Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

High similarity index (27%), suggest to reduce to below 18%. 

Problem statements and research gap amongst these techniques need to be highlighted. 

Please look into the writing style. Suggest for editing services. 

This paper utilize Fermatean fuzzy technique to deal with multi-objective problems and able to convert fuzzy data into crisp data. The overall scope of this paper is considered narrow, suggest to perform a complete simulation works such that some outcomes results can be generated. Not limited to data conversion processes.

Reviewer 2 Report

The paper aims to propose an alternate fuzzy programming approach to solve the multi-objective transportation problem.

The introduction should be improved, e.g. add the author's name before a citation at the beginning of some sentences ([4] introduced decision-making problems under such environment in which 62 goal or constraints are not defined precisely, etc.). In addition, references are not cited according to their appearance in the text. Authors do not comment the research gap in the reviewed studies.

The research methodology is not well described. Sections 2, 3 and 4 are very short and difficult to understand.

I strongly recommend authors to describe their methodology presented in Section 6 and Numerical calculations in Section 7 in more details.

In the conclusion, authors do not comment the limitations of their study and their plans for future work in the field
