About the Journal

Focus and Scope

Education Review  (ISSN: 10945296) publishes reviews of recent books on education scholarship and practice in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. The journal also hosts ongoing publication series, Acquired Wisdom (English) and Pedagogical Legacies (Portuguese), celebrating the work of esteemed educational researchers. 

 

Editorial Policy

All book reviews are subject to revision by the Editors, including editing for consistency in style and formatting, according to the discretion of the Editors. 

The Editors reserve the right to accept or deny requests to review, and the submission of a review or revision does not guarantee publication.

Reviewers may request one book at a time, and multiple requests will result in all requests denied.

Authors of reviews pending editorial decisions may not request another book for review until an editorial decision has been made.

Note to students: While the journal publishes reviews authored by students, we ask that students do not request books to review for class assignments. If a professor or instructor has suggested that you submit a book review for consideration, please note this in your "qualifications" statement. 

 

Peer Review Process

When we evaluate book reviews, we ask does the author:

  • examine the content of the book, the author’s treatment of the topic, and the author’s conclusions?
  • provide a clear idea of the contents of the book under consideration?
  • integrate the various themes of the book, avoiding a chapter-by-chapter treatment of topics?
  • position the book within the discipline and/or suggest its importance to the field?
  • illustrate and discuss the strong and weak points of the book in a critical and respectful manner?
  • quotations from the book or related works to illustrate or provide specific examples of the type of analysis or style of the author? (not a succession of long quotations)
  • present a reasoned evaluation of the book and its conclusions?
  • write in a clear and engaging style?
  • achieve high standards of clarity of presentation, organization of ideas, format and length?
