Reviewer 1 Report

It is interesting that the paper extends the \phi-6 model expansion method the \bate-time frational CGL equation and obtains many exact solutions. The paper is good but should be improved accordingly the comments:

1) In fact, the \phi-6 model expansion method is special cases of the generalized F-expansion method and the generalized auxiliary equation method proposed and applied in the following papers: Sheng Zhang and Tiecheng Xia, A generalized auxiliary equation method and its application to (2+1)-dimensional asymmetric Nizhnik-Novikov-Vesselov equationsï¼›J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 40 (2) (2007) 227-248, this should be introduced and cited. More importantly, the 14 special solutions to the \phi-6 model (9) should be cited in Zhang et als papers, for example, Sheng Zhang and Tiecheng Xia, A generalized F-expansion method and new exact solutions of Konopelchenko-Dubrovsky equations, Appl. Math. Comput. 183(2) (2006) 1190-1200, which were published before [55-59] as cited by authors. There [59] is missing.

2) Several typos should be corrected.

Author Response

First of all, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to the reviewers for their helpful comments and suggestions in improving the quality of this paper. We have revised the manuscript according to the reviewers’ comments. In the following, we present replies to reviewers’ suggestions one by one (our replies are marked in blue).

  1. The original contributions need to be much better presented in the last paragraph of section \INTRODUCTION. All improvements, if they are, and new results must be described in this paragraph. The advantages of the work are not discussed in the text.

Response: The original contributions, improvements, and advantages of the work have been added in the second last paragraph of the Introduction. Please see the edit marked in yellow on Page 3.

  1. A brief description of the structure (layout) of the paper may be added to the end of the Introduction.

Response: A brief description of the structure (layout) of the paper has been added at the end of the Introduction. Please see the edit marked in yellow on Page 3.

  1. The Abstract should be modified by adding advantages of the proposed method.

Response: Abstract has been modified by adding the advantages of the proposed method. Please see the edit marked in yellow on Page 1.

  1. Check the manuscript carefully for typos and grammatical errors.

Response: Authors have properly proofread the paper, and typos and grammatical errors have been removed.
