Call for Review Papers for Sociology of Health & Illness
Do you want to write a Review Paper for SHI?
Review Papers are a recent and exciting feature of the journal.
Review Papers provide state-of-the-art overviews of the literature and
valuable summaries for both teaching and research purposes. The
Editors of Sociology of Health & Illness are therefore seeking short
(one-page) proposals from authors who would like to write reviews of
either established or emerging areas in the field of the Sociology of
Health & Illness.
What is a SHI Review Paper?
The review must be comprehensive, up-to-date, and be based on
empirical and theoretical research. It should critically analyse and
synthesise the available literature. Seminal work should be
identified and endorsed or challenged. It should be well structured,
develop a logical argument, and be a pleasure to read. Ways in which
the area could be developed in future research should be outlined. In
summary, Review Papers evaluate the progress of research in clarifying
a sociological problem and recommend potentially fruitful avenues of
empirical, methodological, and theoretical work for approaching this
question.
How do I proceed?
Proposals should be sent to the Review Papers Editor (Steven
Wainwright: [log in to unmask]). Review Papers, of 8000
words, will be submitted via Manuscript Central, and will be peer
reviewed in the usual way.
