The Journal publishes commissioned book reviews in each issue. To reflect Journal’s commitment to sustainability, the Journal now no longer accepts unsolicited hard copies of books for review.
Instead, titles should be proposed for review to the Book Review Editor and Managing Editor via email at JLAS@ucl.ac.uk. The following material should be included in PDF format:
- Book blurb, or aims & scope
- List of authors, or editors and contributors
- Acknowledgements
- Copyright page
- Introduction and first chapter
The Book Review Editor will select titles for review based on the above material. We then request that books are sent directly from the publisher to the reviewer.
Not all books can be reviewed, and editorial policy gives preference to reviews of books regarded as of major importance for the disciplines covered by the Journal. Unsolicited reviews cannot be considered.
Please do not send unsolicited books directly to the Book Review Editor or their home institution.
