This development seems to have been different from nation to nation. - In French social science periodicals of the beginning of the 20th century, I only found, under the headings "publications nouvelles" and "recueils perodiques", cumulative reviews (= short reviews for many publications). In Italian it was (with lower evidence) similar. - At the same time, in the German and the English spoken countries the elaborated single book review (individual review) was already standard. So it would be interesting to know: in what nations or language spheres, it gave, at what time, short reviews, then group short reviews and, finally, long individual reviews (the luxury version)?
Hi,
I did not check the emergence of book review practice, but I know that it is considered to be a non-citeable bibliographic material.
ok , thats interesting ... - I understand: In science and technology, reviews are normally not citable, right? - In humanilies, reviews could deliver valuable information on academic reputation and of trends in scholarly work. For that purpose,they are citable. What I now will check are review databases ...
