PSR BOOK REVIEW POLICY

• PSR publishes book reviews of recent volumes on cutting-edge topics on an ad hoc basis.
• We invite readers to propose books for potential review. Proposals should detail why the book is potentially important and to whom it will appeal.*
• Proposals are not guaranteed to be accepted. All proposals must be approved by the editorial team and may be subject to the supply of the book by the publisher.
• Book reviews may also be commissioned by the PSR editors.
• We actively encourage reviews from early career researchers and PhD students.
• We do not accept non-commissioned reviews.
• We do not provide book reviewers with book copies.
• In order to help promote diversity amongst our reviewers, we normally only accept one review per person per year.
• Book reviews are published online only.

* We no longer manage a list of books to be reviewed.
