127I propose then to study variation within the genre of BR as a response to possiblevariations across disciplines, analyzing how reviewers in each discipline employ specificways to relate to previous knowledge (citation and exemplification) and how theyevaluate new knowledge production (evaluation). Variation associated with the object ofstudy in the disciplinary culture will be examined in terms of the evaluative practicesused, i.e., values associated with each discipline as, for example, how importantmathematicization (formulas, measurement, etc.) appears to be to chemistry, economics,and linguistics. The literature tradition in the field will be examined by features such ashow reviewers and readers are represented in the BRs as, for example, expert or novicemembers of the discipline, or as bearing a view of consensus or dissent over ideasconveyed in the book through citation and exemplification practices present (or absent)in the BRs.4.3.4 Contextual featuresThere are features in the disciplinary context that were judged to be relevant forthe discussion about the genre:• if books are reviewed more frequently by senior or junior scholars;• where reviewers are based in terms of professional assignment, i.e., working intraditional research centers or based in ‘off-network’ countries;• in what language the books are written;• where these books are being published.
