Guidelines for formal text layout of book reviews
Please check before submitting your review that the following formal criteria have been met. Your text may otherwise be sent back to you along with a request for improvement before any detailed editorial checking can be done.
Length
The length of the review should not exceed 1,000-1,200 words, or 8,000-10,000 characters (including annotations). In the case of longer contributions we reserve the right to shorten or, in extreme cases, refuse to review your work altogether. We suggest a length of between 1,800 and 2,000 words for multi-book reviews of two books; between 2,000 and 2,500 words if three books are reviewed.
You can improve the legibility of your text on the screen by deploying shorter sentences and using paragraphs to structure the content. Please separate paragraphs with an additional paragraph mark.
Bibliographical information
The bibliographical information at the head of each review should contain the following: author (or publisher, if applicable), title, subtitle, series and volume number, place, publisher, year, length, ISBN, price.
Information about the reviewer
The lines containing author information should mention, alongside your name (without academic title) and email address, where possible the institution you are affiliated with, or place of residence where applicable.
Example (fictitious): Maya Maza, History Faculty, University of Tbilisi, email: mmaza@uni-tbilisi.ge
or: Mamed Unsi, Berlin, email: mamed.unsi@mail.ru
