MORE EBN Disclaimers

When MORE raters respond to a request for rating an article, they are consenting to our use of their ratings and comments for the purposes disclosed in How ratings are used.

No personal information or e-mail addresses of MORE raters will be provided to any other group or entity without express consent of the individual rater.

Comments are an optional part of the rating process. Rater's comments that appear libelous, blasphemous, or thoughtless in the opinion of the MORE staff will not be used. The names of raters, or any information that may identify individual raters, will not be included in the material that is forwarded to publishers or end-users.

Ratings from individual raters are averaged with at least 2 other peer raters in the material that is forwarded to publishers or end-users. Thus, individual ratings do not appear with the published citations. Articles with average ratings less than 3 for relevance or newsworthiness are quarantined from further distribution.

MORE raters can decline further participation at any time. (We would be grateful if you would let us know by sending an e-mail to MOREebn@McMaster.ca.)
