Reviewer Comments
The manuscript presents a relevant contribution within the scope of technical and engineering sciences, which aligns well with the aims of Tehnički vjesnik—Technical Gazette, a journal that emphasizes applied research across multidisciplinary engineering domains. The study demonstrates a clear attempt to address a contemporary issue, supported by structured methodology and appropriate analytical techniques.
1. Originality and Contribution
The paper provides a moderate level of originality, particularly in its approach to [insert your topic, e.g., “modeling system performance” or “analyzing engineering processes”]. The contribution is relevant; however, explicitly highlighting how the proposed work differs from existing studies could strengthen its novelty. The introduction should better position the research gap in relation to recent literature.
2. Methodology and Scientific Rigor
The methodology is generally appropriate and follows standard scientific procedures expected in technical research. The use of [methods/tools] is suitable; however, additional justification is required for selecting these techniques. Such improvements are essential, as the journal emphasizes clarity in applied methods and reproducibility.
3. Results and Discussion
The results are presented in a logical manner, supported by figures and tables. However:
- Some figures require clearer labeling and improved readability
- The discussion section should be expanded to interpret results more critically rather than merely describing them
- Connections to existing literature should be strengthened to demonstrate consistency or divergence from prior findings
4. Structure and Organization
The manuscript generally follows the expected structure (Abstract, Introduction, Methodology, Results, Conclusion), which is consistent with the journal guidelines. However:
- The introduction should more clearly define the research problem and objectives
- The conclusion section should emphasize practical implications and future research directions
- Transitions between sections can be improved for better flow
5. Language and Formatting
The paper is understandable but requires minor language editing to meet academic standards in British English, as required by the journal. Additionally:
- Ensure consistency in terminology and units (SI units preferred)
- Check formatting of references and citations
- Reduce grammatical inconsistencies
6. References and Literature Review
The references are relevant but somewhat limited. The manuscript would benefit from:
- Inclusion of more recent studies (last 3–5 years)
- Better integration of cited works into the discussion
- Ensuring all statements are supported by appropriate citations
7. Recommendation
Based on the above evaluation, the manuscript is recommended for revision (minor/major revisions depending on your case). With improvements in methodological clarity, discussion depth, and language quality, the paper has the potential to meet the publication standards of Tehnički vjesnik – Technical Gazette.
Optional Closing Statement
The manuscript addresses an important topic within the engineering field and shows promise. After addressing the comments above, it could make a valuable contribution to the journal’s readership.
