Manuscript Proposal Development Workshop
Review Table
Critical to Address
Reviewer 1: It is not very
clear as to why an SLR is
needed for this topic and
how it will add value to the
existing body of literature.
May kindly consider
elaborating on the same.
Also may check whether
there have already been
literature reviews on this
topic and if so, then how
will this one be different.
Answer: This SLR aims to
provide a theoretical base
for fintech research from a
sustainable development
perspective by
synthesizing 69 articles
collected from SCOPUS.
The main result would help
to develop a framework
that will clarify & increase
our understanding of the
current state of fintech
sustainability.
There have been few
systematic literature
reviews available on
fintech but no literature has
been done so far
considering sustainable
development through
fintech initiatives.So, this
is going to make a
contribution by clarifying,
summarizing and
synthesizing the existing
state of literature from
susrainable perspective &
would also provide a future
research framework.
Minor Points to Address
Reviewer 2: On Page 4,
which starts with "All this
above-mentioned
research.....", the para
essentially emphasizes that
there is a gap in literature,
which needs to be
addressed. However, if this
has to be addressed,
literature review may not be
an appropriate
methodology. If you want
to do a review, identify a
gap in the "understanding"
of the literature and how
disadvantaged we are by
not understanding or how
advantaged we are by
understanding it. 
Answer:Although, the
main objective of this is to
provide a theoretical base
for the current state of
fintech attaining sustainable
development which will
further provide a base for
future research framework
that will help to fill the gap
that I mentioned in my
proposal.
Deserves Refutation
Reviewer 1: please do get
a sense whether there will
be enough articles
available (especially since
it is mentioned that the
field is still in its infancy).
Answer: Although the
field is still in its infancy
but there is enough
literature available as I’ve
mentioned that the SLR
will be using 69 articles
collected from the
database which is a
sufficient number of
articles to conduct a
systematic liiterature
review.
Reviewer 3: The structure
of your introduction is not
very clear. Maybe you
could structure it based on
the teachings in class. The
part of your 'methods' that
consists of reasons or
contributions, could be
added to the introduction
instead. 
Response: I have tried to
rewrite the introduction.
But in this introduction part
also, I have clearly
mentioned about the
methods that this study is
going to use and the
contributions this study will
make in fintech area.
