Value of Review Articles

ANNUAL REVIEWS THE VALUE OF THE REVIEW ARTICLE

What Are Review Articles? The amount of primary research is overwhelming. Review articles analyze and summarize the wide array of primary research published Why Are They Important? on a particular topic in a scholarly discipline. They filter relevant primary research—including articles, books, and data—in a specific area of inquiry to evaluate important ideas and trends. Review articles guide you to essential primary research.

Annual Reviews: Recognized as high-quality resources, Annual Reviews articles provide: Authoritative Comprehensive, Authoritative Overviews Each of our journals has a dedicated Editorial Committee, which first Time-Saving selects the most crucial topics to review. Then the Committee invites Enduring experts to write on each topic. Our authors are among the most distinguished international scholars in their disciplines.

Time-Saving Guides to Related Research Each article is its own search engine, providing a clear path to the essential primary research literature referenced within the article. Their extensive bibliographies quickly direct you to key sources for further research.

Lasting Research Value Annual Reviews’ articles are used significantly longer than most primary research literature. In fact, over 50% of our worldwide article downloads are for articles older than five years. Also, our Impact Factors are among the highest for publications indexed in Thomson Reuters’ Journal Citation Reports (JCR®).

Disciplines Covered Annual Reviews publishes 46 review journals within the Biomedical Sciences, Physical Sciences, and Social Sciences, including Economics. All of our journals are available online. Please see the journals we publish in your area on page 2.
