Many thanks

Hi there
I can't log a new topic, so I hope these suggestions will be considered here, as this was the closest topic I could find to make my suggestions:
1. There are additional guidelines that editors must adhere to that are not readily available to reviewers. As an example, the ratings out of 4 and out of 5 and the mapping between those are clearly identified for editors, while there is nothing provided for reviewers. Another example is the profanity guide, which I discovered by accident after having a review rejected. Can the guidelines be aligned so that we all work from the same guidelines?
2. Add links to the reviewers' guidelines for additional topics subsequently added to aid reviewers to produce better reviews. An example is the guide to usage of commas.
3. Revise the mapping between ratings out of 5 and ratings out of 4, as specified for editors. Looking at the descriptions associated with the ratings, a rating of 2 out of 5 does not match well to a rating of 2 out of 4. My suggestion for mapping is:
1 or 2/5 = 1/4
3/5 = 2/4
4/5 = 3/4
5/5 = 4/4

Thank you very much
Alida

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out. Suggestions have been added on the internal to-do list to add the rating equivalences to the guidelines. Once they're considered, you'll be updated. In the meantime, have you read Scott's post about this? If not, please check out this topic: https://forums.onlinebookclub.org/viewt ... 2&t=292079

I'm not sure what you mean by the guidelines fir comma usage. However, if you are referring to this topic, then it is not part of the review team guidelines.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
