Which of the following are review type of services ?

(i) CAS
(ii) Trend report
(iii) Newspaper clipping
(iv) State-of-the-art-report

  • A.(ii) and (iv)
  • B.(ii) and (iii)
  • C.(i) and (ii)
  • D.(i) and (iv)

Answer: A

The review-type services are trend reports and state-of-the-art reports, so the answer is (ii) and (iv).

A trend report reviews the progress of a subject over a period, and a state-of-the-art report evaluates the present position of a subject. Both digest and assess a body of literature, which is what makes a service a review service.

A current awareness service (CAS) and newspaper clipping service only alert readers to new items as they appear; they list or copy material without reviewing it, so codes including (i) or (iii) are wrong.
