Reviews are short articles written specifically to summarize and rate a book, film, other media, or performance. These are useful for helping scholars to get more information and evaluate a specific source for research or to look at the reception of a particular event. In a scholarly database, these reviews may have titles like other research articles, but if you look at the record information or compare their content, you can usually find labels defining it as a review. Reviews may be found through some journals, magazines, or databases at Hekman which collect reviews, such as the ones listed below, and you may request others through MeL/ILL.
You can try searching these specific databases, and also in many other databases, just limit your search to source/content type for "Reviews."
JSTOR is a database consisting of full-text articles from scholarly, peer-reviewed journals from nearly every discipline taught at Calvin.
