Guide

Cite a paper under review by marking it as an unpublished manuscript, naming the authors, year, title, and status, and adding a venue if known.

To cite reviews, match the source type and style, then include reviewer, date, review title, container, and a DOI or stable link.

For a paper under review, cite it as an unpublished manuscript—or as a preprint if public—with author, year, title, and a bracketed status label.

An MLA review citation lists the reviewer, the review title, “Review of” + the work and creator, then the container, date, and pages or URL.

In MLA, cite a review with reviewer, title or description, the phrase ‘Review of’ + the work, container, date, and location.

To cite for a literature review, link each claim to a reliable source and apply your style’s in-text and reference rules consistently.

For a review, cite the reviewer’s surname in the text, then add year or page per style; the “review of” detail lives in the reference list, not the in-text.
