Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The manuscript is written well but need some improvements.

1. Comparative analysis with related research works should be included which is absent.

2.  Average network revenues when expressed as intervals may be solved using interval analysis. Authors may consider interval, fuzzy, rough like uncertainty in their manuscript.  

3. In the manuscript some long sentences should be avoided for reading simplicity.

Reviewer 2 Report

Dear authors, I congratulate you for the topicality and usefulness of the study.

I propose the following recommendations for structuring and completing the research.

It should be specified in the "Abstract" part and in the "Introduction" which is the "scientific gap"

I recommend to express in the "Introduction" explicitly what is the "research question", what was found, what is the research methodology and limitations.

In the area of "literature review" to specify clearly what are the "research hypotheses" and "objectives of this research"

To insert a part of "Discussions", before the Conclusions, in which to present the results of the research related to hypotheses and objectives and to show the novelty of the study compared to what exists in the literature.

I recommend the following studies that may be useful:

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enpol.2019.110879

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enpol.2019.111072

https://doi.org/10.15240/tul/001/2021-2-007

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tej.2017.04.017

On the Conclusions side, details would be needed regarding the managerial implications of this study, the limits of the research and the future directions of analysis.

Round 2

Reviewer 2 Report

Dear Authors,

I appreciate your effort to improve the article.

For the new version of the manuscript I have the following recommendations:

- at the end of the Literature Review, please define the research hypothesis. This hypothesis should be tested and validated in the Discussions chapter (present a short discussion about the validity of the research hypothesis).

- the literature review must contain many references for the context of your research.

- in the Discussions chapter, please discuss about the validity of the research hypothesis.

Kind Regards!
