Frequently Asked Questions

How are books selected for review, and how are reviewers selected?

The Journal of Japanese Studies
Many publishers send us all of their books on Japan or send us those we request. The editors also help in identifying new books for review. We cannot review all new books on Japan, nor can we always find suitable and willing reviewers for all of the books we would like to review. We generally will not ask someone who has been thanked by an author or quoted on the dust jacket to review that particular book. Potential reviewers are identified by our editors and advisors.

What is expected of Scientific Review Administrators (SRA) and reviewers?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Model Organisms
Whether a sharing plan is reasonable can be determined by the reviewers on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the organism, the timeline, the applicant's decision to distribute the resource or deposit it in a repository, and other relevant considerations. For mechanisms other than special RFAs, the presence or adequacy of a plan should not enter into the scoring of the application.

Linguality - For Language Learners and Book Lovers
Our editorial staff looks at hundreds of titles and considers several criteria: first and foremost, we want good books that we think will interest an avid reader. We try to avoid books that we believe would have a small constituency, are too long, or would present too many challenges for the intermediate speaker. Finally, we look for balance, typically four works of fiction and two of non-fiction. All the authors in the first series happen to be men.
