Are all citations (of the book and other works) accurate and complete?
I'm paranoid about making a citation error that undermines my credibility. Beyond the book itself, when I reference other scholars to contextualize my critique, how thorough must this be? Is a full bibliography expected, or are in-text citations sufficient for a review?

Absolute precision in citations is non-negotiable; it's the bedrock of scholarly trust. I have seen reviews dismissed over persistent citation errors. For the book under review, cite page numbers for every direct claim and paraphrase. For contextual references to other works, use a standard in-text format (Author, Year, p. X). Most journals do not require a separate bibliography for a review unless you cite extensively. Before submission, double-check every citation against the source this meticulousness is what separates professional work.
