Book review

References to book reviews follow in principle the same guidelines as the source type in which they are published. The examples below are based on journal articles and newspaper articles.

Tips

  • Add "review of" before the title of the reviewed text and "by" before the author of it.
  • For reviews with a title place it before the title of the reviewed text.
