I just read the issue. (I’ve been falling behind in IF, sorry.) It’s great to have SPAG back!
What are the specific criteria for submitted reviews? Is SPAG still going to publish reviews that are not Specifics? It would be helpful to have all the submission requirements and instructions in one place, if they are not already.
The primary criteria for SPAG Specifics are that they’re in-depth analyses of important works. (Defining either term more closely is likely to get you into trouble. Best to think of it as a mission statement rather than a requirement.)
