Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This article is well prepared, its methodology is clear and the critical apparatus is consistent. I recommend that the authors enrich their argumentation by including quotations from Latin American works. Below I recommend some of them:

Reviewer 2 Report

The article raised a vital subject for the mission of universities around the world, pointing out their responsibilities in terms of fairness, social justice, inclusion, and equality, but it should not be published in its current form.

The following aspects are the ones that need to be improved:

1- The article should be conceptually more focused.

2 - The theorization and state-of-the-art about social inequalities applied to Higher Education should be improved.

3 - A more advanced theorization about sustainable development is needed. 

4- I would like to see a critical analysis of the merits and weaknesses of THE impact rankings, also in terms of statistical analysis.

5 - A better operational conceptualization is needed instead of this simple discrimination of THE ranking. The solution could be to set an analytical model that better explains the focused objectives of the article.

6 - It is absent in the article what should be an active social inclusion policy, regarding the different contexts of universities.

7 - Tables 1, 2, 3, and 4 do not need to be presented. 

8 - The method applied and subsequent data are relevant, but not sufficient to increase knowledge about inclusive Higher Education.
