: Guidelines for reviewing journal manuscripts Are there good books that give guides to reviewing manuscripts for inclusion in scholarly journals? I'm working in the areas of computers, education, training, and psychology.

There may not be a direct text that would give you all the necessary information but you could consider looking at the following:

1) Reviewing scientific works in Psychology, Sternberg Robert J. (ed), American Psychological Association (2006)

2) Peer Review and Manuscript Management in Scientific Journals, Hames, Irene, Blackwell Publishing (2007).

The contents of the second book do not talk in depth about the reviewing process but there is a section that covers that. It has got more relevance to the person who is being reviewed. The first book is all about doing the process of review.

Hope these help!
