We're pleased to announce that we are accepting submissions for the Book and Media Reviews department of Families, Systems, & Health.
The journal's editors are soliciting reviews of relevant books and media. Media for review could include items such as: podcasts, films, online curricula or training programs, or any other non-printed form of information.
As with other submissions to the journal that must reflect the journal scope, appropriate book and media reviews address at least two of the three journal foci: families, systems, and health.
High-quality book or media reviews should provide a thoughtful in-depth analysis based upon the author's detailed review of the entire resource and their knowledge of the field.
Authors should avoid reviewing materials for which they have any potential conflict of interest.
Manuscript submissions should be 1,000 words or less and should contain the following components:
- reasons the book/media item is important
- the intended audience
- potential broader audiences it could interest or apply to
- its strengths and limitations
- how it fits into the larger body of literature and media within the field
- implications of the resource
The writing should be balanced, concise and scholarly, and should adhere to APA format. Further guidance can be found in Welcoming Relevant Media Reviews (Corso, 2018).
All pieces will be peer reviewed, and editors will consider fit with the journal mission, importance of the book or media work, value-add of the author's analysis, and quality of writing.
For more information, please read the Book and Media Reviews section in the journal's submission guidelines.
We look forward to receiving your submissions!
