Scale equivalences [resolved]
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

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.

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!Sara Bartolomeu wrote: ↑04 Feb 2023, 13:36 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.
