I'll level with you, I know writing a review can be a pain in a$$. That's why I made a template for writing them! Yay! Reviews or ratings (if you're short on time/words), really do help authors and small presses boost our titles in the algorithms.

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
