Review Articles

Review publications contain articles that review the research already done in a given area. A review article can give you a synthesis of a particular topic and provide you with an extensive bibliography. Review articles are not appropriate to cite in an academic paper. You should, instead, read and reference the scholarly articles a review article summarizes.
