Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The paper is well written.

My comments and suggestions are as follows.

1. It would be nice if you could mention how rapid mental computation systems (e.g., Trachtenberg system) affect computational thinking. Note that this is an important topic, so please discuss it in detail.

2. Table 4: Is it North Korea or South Korea?

3. What software did you use to generate Figures 6 and 7? Please mention it.

4. Add a "Recommendation for Future Work" section.

5. Author from Vietnam, please add postal code.

6. Add more keywords or phrases.

7. Table 3: it's not a scientific production, but the number of articles.

8. I would suggest to rename the article as follows:

Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

Overall, this paper leverages a rigorous Bibliometric approach to understanding computational thinking and game-based learning. However, throughout the paper, the authors need extensive English grammar editing, including the appropriate capitalization of acronyms, spelling, punctuation, and paragraph line spacing. The results of the study are strong and noteworthy, and the literature review also provides ample foundation for readers to understand the topic before delving into the findings of the study. However, the English language quality of the paper distracts from the solid findings of the paper and that is all the authors to remedy. I recommend wholesale editing of the paper to ensure readability for a wide audience.

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The work is very interesting but I find it rather limited. The searches are too simplistic and should incorporate synonyms of the keywords searched to cover the study adequately. I recommend expanding the search with synonyms and editing the work accordingly.
