Comments
· Overall quality rating: 5 / 5 · Recommendation: 5 / 5
We received 3 reviews, of which 2 were long and detailed, and one was rather short and superficial. Two reviewers had some familiarity with the field, but were not really experts, which became obvious from some of the questions they had about our manuscript. Overall, all three were quite positive. The harshest critique we probably got from the editor. It wasn't exactly unfair, but the language used to make some of the points was borderline rude. Nevertheless, all reviewers and the editor (who also gave a lengthy evaluation) were very helpful, and we believe they substantially improved the manuscript we re-submitted. In the second round we received 2 reviewers (the one offering only superficial comments in round 1 apparently dropped out), which were very positive about our changes and only had minor concerns with the manuscript. The editor added some comments of his own, which were also extremely valuable, and he overall was in agreement with the reviewers. Most of the problems seemed to be language issues. After giving the manuscript to a professional editing service, and resubmitting it to Psychological Assessment, it was finally accepted for publication (to our great delight)! We were overall very pleased with the reviewers and particularly the editorial feedback.
