Review publications contain articles that review the research literature already done in a given area. A review article can give you a good up-to-date synthesis of a particular topic and provide you with an extensive bibliography to mine for primary literature.
In addition to review specific journals, review articles can be found in PubMed, PsycInfo and Scopus. All of these databases allow you to filter to review articles only.
