Contest
Books that matter: discover a book and share it
CEG-IGOT Library
3rd Edition - Papers reception until April 30th, 2024
In both print and digital formats, books remain essential vehicles for disseminating scientific knowledge and reflection. Libraries act as repositories of this knowledge, while journals promote it, for instance, through the publication of reviews.
With this in mind, the CEG-IGOT Library (ULisboa) and the Finisterra Journal established a partnership that aims to encourage the reading of scientific works and the writing of their summaries, with the ultimate purpose of contributing to the reinforcement of knowledge and curiosity and the creativity of students. We also seek to promote the dissemination of books in our Library, through their possible discussion and the writing of critical summaries.
In concrete terms, the competition consists of preparing a critical review, under the terms of the Regulation indicated below, of a book (physical or digital) published in the last 5 years (exclusively) that exists in the CEG-IGOT Library's collection. The best reviews will be published in Finisterra Journal, the authors of which will also receive a prize alluding to the Competition and a set of books.
