It’s also an excellent format to clarify your thoughts on a major work in your research area. This course starts with advice on choosing a book and how to approach a journal, and after a week’s break (for you to read your book), the following sessions cover the style and structure of a book review, and how you use the review to clarify (even promote) your own work. We will be reading published reviews in different fields, and sharing our own reviews in progress. As well as giving you a better understanding of the form, the objective of the course is that you should have a review, ready to submit to an academic journal, by the end of the course Page last updated on 29 November 2023
