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.
