The material that you discuss in a review paper is obviously not your own, therefore it is crucial to document your sources properly. Proper documentation is crucial for two reasons: 1. It prevents the writer from being accused of plagiarism and 2. It gives the reader the opportunity to locate the sources the writer has reviewed because they may find them valuable in their own academic pursuits.

Proper documentation depends on which style guide you are following. For more information on style guides and documenting your sources visit the References section of this guide.
