Agreeing with Ian I consider the review papers as contributions that typically have (or "must have") long references section, otherwise they do not fulfill their purpose. Furthermore, 150 references is not too many, IMHO, in a geological paper dealing with a new geodynamic model of larger area this number is often reached, even if it is not a review paper.

According to Thomson Reuters, in ‘Journal Citation Reports’ (JCR) system any article containing more than 100 references is coded as a review article (paper).
Thankyou Ian, Balázs and Nebi for answering, these are exactly my views, I want to refer to the publications included in my review within the articles references section, but i think most journals in public health or epidemiology have a reference limit much smaller than that, anyways i will try my luck and see if i can succeed in it, thanks again though.
