Studienrelevanten

Studienrelevanten is the declined form of the German adjective studienrelevant, meaning relevant to a study or to academic research. The term is used to describe information, data, findings, or topics that are pertinent to a specific study, its aims, methodology, or scope. It is common in scholarly writing, including research proposals, methods sections, results discussions, and literature reviews, to signal that a particular item is of importance for the study at hand.

In grammar, studienrelevant is the base form; studienrelevanten is its inflected form after definite articles or in plural contexts. For example: die studienrelevanten Daten (the study-relevant data), mit studienrelevanten Kriterien (with study-relevant criteria), dem studienrelevanten Aspekt (to the study-relevant aspect). The form also appears in other singular cases, such as den studienrelevanten Befunden or im studienrelevanten Kontext, depending on case and gender.

Nuance: the label usually indicates that relevance derives from the study’s questions, design, or scholarly value, rather than general usefulness. It is commonly contrasted with verwandte terms like forschungsrelevant (relevant to research in a broader sense). While closely related, studienrelevant emphasizes specificity to a given study or dataset.

Translations: in English, the term is typically rendered as "study-relevant" or "relevant to the study." It is a descriptive attribute used in academic German to mark material that directly informs or supports a particular research project.
