Reviewer 2 Report

The paper presented is of high quality and methodologically well thought out. Nevertheless, I think that the introduction could be made shorter and a section on the literature review should be created and  developed. On the other hand, it is not enough to say that the results contribute to the literature review, it is necessary to conform these data to what exists in the literature review.
On page 4, there is a figure on research mode, which I think would be better in a chapter on work methodology and not at the end of the introduction.

Finally, the questions I was going to ask about the research design of this paper have already been presented by the authors in the chapter on limitations and future research. I think this chapter should come after the conclusions and not before.

The conclusions should also be improved, because what is there is too similar to the abstract text.
