Asker: Danke, aber Revue würde man nicht mit Wissenschaft in Verbindung bringen, klingt nach bunter Illustrierte.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Danke, aber es handelt sich nicht nur um Literaturrezensionen. Habe noch keine befriedigende Lösung gefunden - vielleicht "wissensch. Rundschau" ??


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Jeremy Amos: I know this thread's 7 years old, but I have to disagree with the asker here - Literaturrezensionen is exactly what it's about - reviews don't just conjure ideas and opinions out of thin air, they are precisely reviews of the literature.
