Living Reviews is an open access journal series, which publishes regularly updated peer-reviewed review articles in various fields of science.
Its concept of "living" articles takes advantage of web-based electronic publishing and allows authors to update their articles with the latest developments and research findings.
The concept of Living Reviews was developed by Bernard Schutz and Jennifer Wheary, who started the first journal, Living Reviews in Relativity, in 1998 at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics. In June 2015, the three physics Living Reviews journals previously published by institutes of the Max Planck Society were sold to the academic publisher Springer Science+Business Media.
