Guidelines for Contributing a Book Review

The Editors regret that as of January 2011 Education Review can no longer consider unsolicited reviews.

If you have been invited by the Editors to submit a review to Education Review, please follow the Procedures and Guidelines below. Thank you.

Procedures

All review articles must be submitted in electronic format (transmitted over the Internet as an attachment to an email letter to the appropriate Editor:
  • Peer reviewed essay reviews:
    In-depth reviews (5,000 words or longer) of particularly significant books; these submissions will be refereed by scholars who are specialists in the fields addressed by the books under review.
    David J. Blacker, Editor for English
        blacker@edrev.info
  • All Other Reviews in English:
    David J. Blacker, Editor for English
        blacker@edrev.info
                    or
    Melissa Cast-Brede, Co-Editor for English
        cast-brede@edrev.info
  • Reviews in Spanish or Portuguese:
    Gustavo E. Fischman, Editor for Spanish & Portugese
        fischman@edrev.info
Reviews should be submitted in a standard word-processing format (such as Microsoft Word) or, preferably, in "Rich Text Format."

Copyright dates of the book should not be more than three years old.

Essay reviews should be 5,000 words long or longer; there is no limit on their length. Reviews of scholarly books should be between 1,000 and 5,000 words.

Every review article should begin by citing the book or books to be reviewed, with full bibliographic information including authors (please include first names), copyright date, full title including any subtitle, place of publication, publisher, number of pages, ISBN Number. Pricing information is not needed. For example,

Hunt, Morton. (1997). How Science Takes Stock: The Story of Meta-Analysis. New York, New York: Russell Sage Foundation. Pp. xii + 210. ISBN 0-87154-389-3
References and all other citations of published work in the review itself should follow the form specified in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. For example,
... as argued by Hedges (1987) in his investigation into the reliability of observations in the physical sciences."
And then in the References at the end of the review, the citation of Hedges (1987) would appear as follows:
References

Hedges, L.V. (1987). How hard is hard science, how soft is soft science? The empirical cumulativeness of research. American Psychologist, 42(5), 443-455.
