So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Scale equivalences [resolved]

Post by Sara Nóbrega Bartolomeu »

Hi there,

I just submitted my first review, the editor did a great job but I realised my review was rejected mainly due to scale equivalences.

To me a 4 out of 4 could be a 4 out of 5 too as i would use 5 for the very best books and not just really good ones.

After looking into it again i realised thay there is a post about this topic but this isn't on the guides (at least i couldn't see it there).
Can this be added? I feel like perhaps my review wouldn't have been rejected if it was on the guides.

Thanks in advance,
Sara

Dear Sara,

Thanks for your message. The equivalences are listed here: viewtopic.php?f=132&t=280313

I agree that they also need to be mentioned more clearly on the guidelines page and will make a suggestion about this.

Best regards.

Thanks! Just to note that that post was made after o submitted my review so it's a bit frustrating to have it as not adhering the guidelines.

Thanks anyway for making this suggestion. I think it will be very helpful

Sure - it's totally understandable that this wasn't clear. The suggestion was made quite some time ago, and I have added a note that will hopefully get it implemented more quickly!
