Annual Reviews articles hold a unique place in the scholarly communication ecosystem because they transfer expert knowledge synthesized from the exponentially expanding corpus of scientific literature to scholars and society.
They play a crucial role in stimulating discussion about science by:
- Capturing current understanding of a topic, including what is well supported and what is controversial;
- Setting the work in historical context;
- Highlighting the major questions that remain to be addressed and the likely course of research in upcoming years; and
- Outlining the practical applications and general significance of research to society.
Annual Reviews is a nonprofit publisher with a mission to synthesize and integrate knowledge for the progress of science and the benefit of society. We currently publish 51 highly cited journals in the Biomedical, Life, Physical, and Social Sciences, including Economics.
