Review Procedures and Criteria

All reviews are solicited by the Editors. We regret that we are not able to entertain unsolicited reviews. Decisions on acceptance for publication are made by the Editors, who may on occasion solicit assistance from other readers in helping them make a decision. The Editors will be guided by the following criteria:

  • Does the review help readers form a clear idea of the contents of the book under consideration?
  • Is the review fair and accurate in its presentation of the evidence, arguments, and methodology of the book?
  • Does the review present a reasoned evaluation of the book and its conclusions?
  • Is the article written in a manner that will promote understanding and further discussion? Is it respectful in tone?
  • Does the article satisfy editorial standards of clarity of presentation, organization of ideas, and quality of writing?
  • Does the article fit within the specific format and length requirements of this journal?

Publication of reviews depends on the Editors' judgment that the criteria listed above are satisfied. In addition, ER is committed to prompt turnaround times on its reviews, and commissioned reviews should be completed by the agreed upon deadline. Failure to meet such deadlines removes any obligation to publish the article, although this decision remains at the Editors' discretion.
