Analysis of the Impact of the Pandemic on the Growth, Use, and Development of E-Business: A Systematic Review of the Literature

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Dear authors,

The article »Analysis of the Impact of the Pandemic on the Growth, Use, and Development of E-business: A Systematic Review of the Literature« is interesting and brings new important findings based on bibliometric analysis.

However, for better readability you have to:

·         in the Introduction section, point out the problem (research question) that the article addresses. At the end of the section, write how the following chapters follow each other.

·         in the Methodology section:

o    two theoretical subsections are missing – (1) on e-business and then what is written about e-business with the connection to covid-19, and (2) on bibliometric analysis

o   2.3 title »Estrategia de búsqueda« - translate to english

·         In the Results section:

o   Explain the main findings for all figures/tables in the text in that section

o   For VOSviewer part, you also have to write how many keywords were included in further analysis in VOSviewer, and how many occurrences of keywords did you use (5 -times?). Explain, what is on these three pictures and the main findings of them

o   Explain how/where did you get data for Figure 10 and Figure 11, and which tool did you use for them ...

o   Explain how/where did you get data for Figure 12 to Figure 14, and which tool did you use for them ...

·         In the Discussion part:

o   support the findings with the references you highlighted in the previous section

·         In the Proposed model section:

o   In the first paragraph, you should have Figure 16, not Figure 14, and at the end of that paragraph write which are the main characteristics. You should not end with »:«.

·         In the Conclusion section:

o   In the last paragraph of the chapter, you wrote that despite the limitations... write which limitations.

Kind regards,

Reviewer

Reviewer 2 Report

It is a standard scientific article that deals with the current topic of the impact of the covid-pandemic on e-business. Scientific methods are used, as the starting point was the PRISMA methodology. The procedure for solving the task and finding answers to scientific questions was also derived from it. The structure of the article is observed and appropriate. The amount of literature used is adequate considering the topic and solution of the article. The graphics level is good. I am not competent to comment on the language side. I recommend publishing the article without comments.

We appreciate the positive comments on the article, it is motivation to continue with more high-impact research.

Reviewer 3 Report

The study is interesting, but there are a few parts that need to be improved.

1. The introduction is too simple and short, and more information should be provided to the author. 

2. PRISMA method is mentioned in this study; more detailed information should be provided.

3. In the methodology chapter, the used VOSViewer program and its functions should be mentioned too.

4. In addition, it would be good to explain the meaning of the figures a little more in the results.

5. The innovation and value of this study must be provided.
