<br />
We have reached a decision regarding your submission to Revista Interamericana de Psicologia/Interamerican Journal of Psychology, "A Phenomenological Analysis on Infertility in Mexican Women Living in the U.S.".<br />
<br />
Our decision is to: Rewrite and resubmit<br />
<br />
Please see the comments of the reviewers -- it really needs some work and more details as well as following some style rules.<br />
------------------------------------------------------<br />
Reviewer A:<br />
------------------------------------------------------<br />
The article should be in double space according by APA<br />
The article use inclusive language that make sense in Spanish but but in English<br />
Terms in Spanish language should be in italics<br />
Some APA style issues should be address:<br />
Some authors are mentioned “et al” without mentioning the other authors first<br />
Reformulate the purpose of the study, it have a lot of methodological information that is unnecessary.<br />
Enumerating the research question is recommended.<br />
Introduction is too short; it does not justify the study.<br />
I don’t understand the Researcher section<br />
Tables are not APA style<br />
10. Interviewing participants in a car was part of the protocol?<br />
<br />
11. The researches notice that one participant didn’t meet the criteria after she was interviewed?<br />
<br />
12. Is the interviews were in Spanish, why is the article in English? The researchers understand the consequences of translating the participant’s interviews? This is not included in the limitations section.<br />
<br />
13. The conclusion is too general.<br />
<br />
14. All the Spanish words have to be at list in italic <br />
------------------------------------------------------<br />
Reviewer B:<br />
While an interesting subject -- the manuscript needs more work, for example, the APA format is off, the references are missing and it needs more elaboration in the procedures. I don't see how this could be a solid qualitative study without that lack of details.<br />
