Which of the following are review type services ?

(i) Current Awareness
(ii) Trend Reports
(iii) News Clippings
(iv) State of the Art Report
Codes :

  • A.(i), (ii), (iii) are correct.
  • B.(i), (iii), (iv) are correct.
  • C.(ii) & (iv) are correct.
  • D.(ii) & (iii) are correct.

Answer: C

Review services consolidate and evaluate the literature of a field: trend reports and state-of-the-art reports are of this type, so (ii) and (iv) are correct. Current awareness services only alert users to new publications, and news clipping is an alerting service that selects news items, so neither of those is a review service. The answer is (ii) and (iv). Reviews also serve the user who has no time to go through the primary literature, since they condense it and judge it.
