The books are proposed by the publishers, the book's authors or by persons interested in reviewing a specific book.

After an informal e-mail to the journal with the indication of the book, the author of the book review will receive an e-mail with the invitation to submit the review through the submission system of the journal. The book review must be written in French, Italian or Spanish. The recommended maximum length of the book review is 60000 characters (including spaces). The book review has to be submitted in an ODT format according to the instructions of the journal's style sheet.

Studia linguistica romanica expects the book review to be submitted within 90 days after the receipt of the book. The book becomes the property of the book review author once the review has been submitted and accepted. If the book review is not accepted or if the book review author is unable to complete the review, the book in question must be returned to the journal within 30 days, with postage to be paid by the book review author.
