Living review

In academic publishing, a "living" review is a review article that is updated at intervals to reflect the latest research. Living reviews are typically published online. Unlike in a print journal, readers are notified of newer versions. While each version must be cited separately, a living review acts as version control for the state of research.
For instance, the first article published in Living Reviews in Relativity was
- PMID 28937180.
In 2008, an updated version was produced:
- Rovelli, C. (15 July 2008). "Loop Quantum Gravity". Living Reviews in Relativity. 11: 5. PMID 28179822.
The authors and titles of living reviews typically remain the same from version to version, although this is not required. The review title also typically remains the same, although developments may require title revisions to reflect the latest research, or an adjustment in the review scope.
