Call for Reviewers: Journal of Business and Finance Librarianship

I am putting out a call for peer reviewers for the Journal of Business and Finance Librarianship (https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/wbfl20) (JBFL). Being a reviewer is an excellent way to give back to the profession and community of business librarians. If you are a new to business librarianship, it is a great way to get a feel about trends and to participate in the publication process. If you’ve been around for a while (like me), your knowledge and expertise are useful. While most reviewers come from an academic background, reviewers from public and corporate libraries are also appreciated.


Reviewing consists of reviewing manuscripts assigned by the editor (me) and providing feedback to the authors based on the scope of the journal and the contributions to the scholarly conversation and profession of business librarianship (including academic, public, and corporate librarianship). You also make recommendations on the status of the manuscript as it related to revisions and acceptance.

If you are interested in being a reviewer or have questions, please email me at estephan2@icloud.com.

If you are interested in writing a book, database, or website review, you can reach out to Lauren Reiter, Book and Database Review editor at lmr29@psu.edu.

If you have questions about submitting a manuscript (https://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?show=instructions&journalCode=wbfl20) you can find information on JBFL’s aim and scope (https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/wbfl20/about-this-journal) on the journal page, or you can reach out to me directly.
