Information for Potential Reviewers

Thank-you for your interest in reviewing a book for the Canadian Journal of Environmental Education.

Please note that, as a rule, reviewers are not selected to complete reviews in two consecutive volumes.

What are the expectations of a CJEE book reviewer?

Reviewers are chosen for their experience, perspective and knowledge that they will bring to the review of their book. As such, the editors respect the judgment of the reviewers. The book review editors do expect the reviewers to follow the following technical guidelines:

  • the preferred length for the review is approximately 750 words
  • the review is completed following the style & spelling guidelines provided by the book review editors
  • the review is submitted within sixty days of the receipt of the book (this is approximate and open to negotiation)
  • the reviewer is prepared to edit the review based on the editors’ suggestions
  • these edits are completed and the updated copy is returned within fifteen days

I’m interested in one of the books listed as available for review.

We receive more requests to review books than we have books to review. As such, we attempt to match potential reviewers with books that are best suited to their experience. If you are interested in reviewing books for this journal please contact the book review editors, Gavan Watson and Traci Warkentin, using the form below:

About the matching process.

Once the book review editors have your email,the book review editors will then match the pool of potential reviewers to the books to be reviewed. The process, from the call to choosing reviewers takes approximately four weeks.

If you are chosen:

The book review editors will be in contact with you for your mailing address and your book will be sent to you shortly. With your book, you will receive detailed instructions on completing the review.

If you are not chosen:

The editors appreciate the spirit of volunteerism that accompanies the response to a call for reviews. Unfortunately, it is not possible to match everyone to a book.
