May 10, 2020 at 14:45 comment added Gro-Tsen Wait, if Math Reviews is a journal like any other, why aren't Math Reviews reviewed by Math Reviews? 😂

May 9, 2020 at 17:11 comment added R W @Joe Silverman Sure - of course I want to include the MR identifier, the names, etc. My question is rather about a template for the whole reference.
May 9, 2020 at 16:59 comment added Joe Silverman At this point, I believe that every entry in MathSciNet has a unique MR identifier for the form MR#######, so that should certainly be included. But it's not clear if the reference should be sorted by the auhor of the article or the author of the review. I would tend to say the latter, since that's who wrote the material, but I'm sure others would disagree. In any case, both names should be listed, making it clear who wrote what.
May 9, 2020 at 16:31 comment added Najib Idrissi It's a journal like any other, I would cite it as: A. Uthor (of the review). "Title of the article." Mathematical Reviews (20XX). link-to-the-review. I don't think they publish volumes or that reviews have page numbers anymore so it's a bit bare bones, of course.
