Ülevaateartiklite

Ülevaateartiklid, often translated as review articles or survey articles, are scholarly publications that provide a comprehensive summary and analysis of existing research on a specific topic. They do not present new, original experimental data but instead synthesize information from multiple primary research papers, offering a broad perspective on the current state of knowledge within a field. The primary purpose of an ülevaateartikkel is to consolidate, interpret, and critically evaluate the literature, identifying trends, gaps, and future research directions.

These articles are typically written by experts in the field who have a deep understanding of the subject matter. They are valuable resources for researchers, students, and practitioners seeking to quickly grasp the essentials of a research area, understand its historical development, and become aware of key findings and ongoing debates. Ülevaateartiklid can cover a wide range of disciplines, from science and medicine to social sciences and humanities. They often include an extensive bibliography, which serves as a gateway to the most important primary sources. The process of writing an ülevaateartikkel involves extensive literature searching, critical appraisal of published works, and a clear, organized presentation of the synthesized information.
