2.  There are a lot of sources in reference  publicateda long time ago (7 articles are older then 2018).

Answer. 

Sources numbered [1,2,3,4] contain information about previously conducted research in the field of knowledge under study. These sources were used when performing a review of scientific and practical achievements in the studied area of knowledge for the last 20 years. In our opinion, the study of this information and its summary allows the reader to more deeply understand the scientific and practical study of the problem under study.

Sources [5,6,7] contain information of methodological nature. Here the authors propose the current methodological approaches to the assessment of geological and economic, environmental and economic efficiency of geological exploration works. In these research works a critical analysis of the methods and tools used to assess the effectiveness of geological exploration.

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

 

Manuscript review report "The Application of Green Seismic Survey Technology in  Forested Areas and Its Ecological and Economic Effectiveness: Methodology and Practice of Application "  Olga Kalinina, Dmitry Metkin 1 and Olga Bichevaya. This publication is very interesting from an ecological and economic point of view.

The authors have presented the results of their work in a very interesting and clear way. All the results were supported by the experiments carried out. The results are presented in figures. Thus, the work is very promising and can be recommended for publication in present form.

 

 

Suggestions:

 

·       I would suggest formatting Figure 2 so that the caption fits under the figure.

 

 

 

 

Good Luck Dear Authors 😊

Reviewer 3 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The manuscript titled "The Application of Green Seismic Survey Technology in Forested Areas and Its Ecological and Economic Effectiveness: Methodology and Practice of Application" shows the proposal of an improved algorithm to carry out an environmental and economic evaluation of the geological exploration of hydrocarbon raw materials. The manuscript is well developed and the tables and figures are adequate. In general terms the work is correct but in my opinion, too extensive. There are 23 pages so reading was difficult for me. I invite authors to reduce the manuscript or change the wording in order to make reading more fluid.

Comments on the Quality of English Language

Some tips for this are:

Ensure that each sentence is clear and concise. Break down complex sentences into smaller ones to improve readability. Organize the content in a logical flow, connecting ideas coherently from one section to another. Review the paper for grammatical errors, especially in sentence construction, verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and punctuation. Ensure consistency in tense usage throughout the paper. While it's essential to use technical terms in an academic paper, ensure that these terms are adequately explained or contextualized for readers who might not be familiar with them. Maintain a consistent academic style throughout the paper. Use formal language and avoid colloquial expressions or informal phrases. Conduct thorough proofreading and editing to eliminate any typographical errors, awkward phrasing, or redundancies.

Dear reviewer! Thank you for your interest in our article and high marks. We have analysed the text of your review and are responding to these comments.

The text of the article is planned to be submitted to the technical editor before publication in the journal. After the technical revision of the text, it is planned to transfer it to the translation agency for editing. In this way we will be able to eliminate inconsistencies in tenses and some informal expressions that occur in the text. The technical editing will also reduce the volume of the manuscript.
