    Books available to review on WorldCat:

    Language – Reviews are published in English. If your review is written in another language, the original and an English translation are requested.

    Length – Reviews are usually 1,000 to 2,000 words in length, but the CSI editorial policy is not to place any limits as to the length of the review. We welcome longer, in-depth reviews as appropriate. If you anticipate your reivew will be much longer than average, please negotiate an appropriate length with the editor.

    Deadline – Unless alternative arrangements are made with the editor, CSI expects that reviews be submitted within two months after receipt of the book.

Chinese should be transliterated using the pinyin system. Chinese characters may be included in the body of the text, if desired. If Chinese characters are included, please review the final version of both text and PDF files to ensure all characters display correctly. As appropriate, indicate the proper placement of diacritical marks for transliterated Japanese or Sanskrit words.
