ülevaateartikkel

ülevaateartikkel is an Estonian term that translates to "review article" or "survey article" in English. It is a type of academic or scientific publication that synthesizes and analyzes existing research on a specific topic. Unlike original research papers that present new findings, an ülevaateartikkel provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge within a field.

The primary purpose of an ülevaateartikkel is to summarize and critically evaluate the literature, identify trends, highlight gaps in research, and suggest future directions for study. These articles are valuable for researchers, students, and practitioners seeking to gain a broad understanding of a subject without having to read numerous individual studies. They often cover a defined period or a specific aspect of a broader discipline.

The preparation of an ülevaateartikkel involves a thorough search and selection of relevant scholarly works, followed by an organized presentation of their findings. Authors typically aim for objectivity, presenting different viewpoints and interpretations found in the literature. By providing a curated and synthesized body of information, an ülevaateartikkel serves as an essential resource for navigating complex academic landscapes and fostering new research endeavors.
