Book Review Submission: All books reviews must be approved in advance by the Book Review

editor (Tracy Taylor: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ). Only books relevant to sport management will be

reviewed. Book reviewers may propose a book for review. Book authors may not review their

own work. Reviewers should refrain from reviewing any book with which they have a conflict of

interest.

Content: The book review should be an engaging, informative, and critical discussion of

approximately 700-1000 words. The review should follow the ESMQ Style Guidelines.

The review should consider:

· The key ideas and major objectives of the book;

· The soundness of methods and information sources used;

· A comparison with other works on this subject;

the state of knowledge is in the subject; and how this new book adds, changes, or breaks

new ground in our knowledge of this subject;

· Constructive comments about the strength and weaknesses of the book;

· For edited books: dominant themes with reference to specific chapters as appropriate; and

implications of the book for research, policy, practice, or theory.

Style Guidelines

1. All references should be made in-text, rather than as footnotes or endnotes. These

references should take the following form: (Smith, 1999). If it is necessary to cite a

particular page number, the reference should be in the following form: (Smith, 1999, p.27).

2. All reviews should be submitted with UK English. (To change the language in an MS

Word document, first “select all” (ctrl-a) of your text, then choose “Language” and “Set

Language” from the Tools pull-down menu. Choose “English (U.S.)” from the available list.)

3. ESMQ is an international journal. Authors must communicate to a wide audience with

many readers in countries other than their own. Language must also be void of

unnecessary jargon and technical terms.
