Use when targeting Living Reviews in Relativity (LRR) or deciding whether an invited, continuously updated authoritative review in relativity and gravitation fits this very-high-impact Springer venue that publishes no primary research. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Living Reviews in Relativity (living-reviews-in-relativity)

## Journal positioning

Living Reviews in Relativity is a Springer journal that publishes invited, continuously updated, authoritative review articles in relativity and gravitation. Its defining character is the "living" model: an article is maintained and revised by its authors as the field evolves, so each review remains the current definitive reference on its topic. LRR is among the highest-impact journals in all of science precisely because each article is a comprehensive, expert, and up-to-date survey that the entire gravitation community relies on. It publishes no primary research; the currency is exhaustive, balanced, pedagogical synthesis with a long maintenance commitment. Readership is the international relativity, gravitation, cosmology, and gravitational-wave community, including graduate students entering the field. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before proposing, re-check the live author and invitation instructions on the Living Reviews in Relativity Springer site.

## When to trigger

- The author is considering a comprehensive, maintainable review of a relativity/gravitation topic for Living Reviews in Relativity.
- A leading group is asked, or wishes to propose, an authoritative living survey they will commit to updating over years.
- An author is choosing between Living Reviews in Relativity, Reviews of Modern Physics, and a topical-review format for a definitive gravitation review.
- The author needs LRR's invitation model, comprehensiveness and maintenance expectations, and desk-reject criteria before drafting.
