BOOK REVIEW GUIDELINES

How it works:
You can either choose a book/article yourself, browse the newest book lists of publishers or select one from our book list. Alternatively, you may want to suggest a book for reviewing even if you do not want to review it yourself. Contrary to conventional journals we also invite article reviews because articles often precede books while they are usually equally valuable. Book/article reviews are normally about one book/article. However, book reviews comparing two or more books are also welcome. The book(s)/article should have been published recently. Here some guidelines:

Length:
- Book reviews typically range between 500 and 2000 words or up to 4000 words for comparative book reviews of two or more books.
- Article reviews should not exceed 500 words.

Content:
the review should
- briefly and succinctly summarise the main arguments of the book as well as its structure
- show a good understanding of the debates to which the book/article refers or within which it is placed
- critically examine at least one of the main arguments
- assess the extent to which the book/article is a valuable contribution to relevant debates/literature

Format:
- Reviews should be send by email using .rtf or .doc (Word 97 or older).
