Reviews and Surveys

A review is a survey of the primary literature in a specific subject field covering specific period. It may be considered as a critical synthesis of the state of knowledge or advances in a given subject or its sub-discipline, In other words, reviews and surveys are critical examination of information and literature on a particular subject or topic. They are often considered the highest level of intellectual reprocessing of information. A critical or an evaluative review or survey done by a specialist often highlights gaps in the research field and suggests new avenues for research. They not only cover what has been published but also stimulate thinking.

Reviews are of two kinds. (1) The bibliographic reviews, which emphasize bibliographic approach evaluating continuation in a subject or subject-oriented approach (2) Focussing on specific scientific or technical problem and its solution. Many of the reviews combine together these aspects.
