Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • Book reviews should be fewer than 2,000 words – except in the case of unusually important works; check with the Editors first.
  • Files should be in a standard word-processing format, such as Microsoft Word or Rich Text Format, and formatted according to the guidelines of 7th Edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA).
  • The submission is entirely the work of the author(s) and the first and last names, affiliations, e-mail addresses, and ORCiDs of all author(s) are included with the submission. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools cannot be listed as an author of a submission. Any use of AI to produce the submission should be detailed in the Comments to the Editor and any text or analyses produced using AI should be checked for accuracy, refined, and elaborated by the author(s).
  • The submission is not under consideration for publication by another journal or previously published.
  • Every review should begin with the full citation of the reviewed book, including author/s (including first initial/s), copyright date, full title including any subtitle, place of publication, publisher, number of pages, and ISBN number. The reference of the book under review is not included in a reference list.
  • If accepted for publication, final versions of book reviews must be placed in the standard journal template, provided to the Author of the review from the Editor.
  • Author(s) confirm that there are no conflicts of interest to report.

Advice to Reviewers

The standard time frame for consideration of a book review submission is two weeks. Good book reviews combine a description and an evaluation of the work. Readers of a review want to know:

  • about the book authors and their qualifications;
  • why the book is important;
  • the audience for the book;
  • the strengths and weaknesses of the work;
  • how it may relate to other published works;
  • noteworthy quotations from the book.
