Guidelines for Review Articles

Review articles in World Politics differ from conventional book reviews. First, they usually consider a number of books that address a similar topic, rather than a single work. Second, in addition to describing the contents of the works under review, a World Politics review article should advance our understanding of one or more of the major substantive or methodological themes suggested by those works. The good review article, that is, should be a contribution in its own right to the literature on the themes selected.

An author who is interested in writing a review article for World Politics should submit a proposal of a paragraph or two outlining how he or she intends to develop the topic at hand. The proposal should also include a tentative list of books that would be included in the essay. Proposals should be sent to Joy Scharfstein at jscharfs@princeton.edu.

All manuscripts--including those that have been commissioned--are subject to review by the editors and other referees. The editors may make suggestions for revision or may reject review articles that are not considered suitable for the journal.

World Politics does not publish reviews of books by Princeton University authors or of books published under the auspices of the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies. Books published by Princeton University Press may be reviewed in the journal, however (as long as they are not by authors at Princeton University).

World Politics has its own house style. Books under review should be listed at the beginning of the article, with complete bibliographical information, including number of pages. Notes should follow the form outlined in the style sheet. Please note that page references to books under review should be incorporated into the text, in parentheses. Manuscripts may be up to 12,500 words in length. (Submissions that are longer than that will not be considered.) They should be double-spaced, with notes run at the end.

Completed review articles should be submitted to the journal via ScholarOne Manuscript Central: .

Authors of published review articles will receive gratis a copy of the issue in which the article appears and a PDF file of the article.
