Okay. There's a technical academic term for a particular sort of paper.
It works like this. Some researchers pick a popular theory that has lots of research already done on it, in several different studies. They round up the studies, itemize the findings of each study, and compile a paper on the results. It's the "big picture" analysis of several studies.
WHAT IS THE TERM FOR THIS PAPER? I used to know. I have been trying to remember all week.
O, btw: it's not an abstract.
Anyone? Help? *Frazzle.*

Survey papers are very nice for learning about new things/writing reports for class/etc. though.
