《太陽物理學中的生活評論》是一本同行評議的《鉑開放訪問雜志》，發表了對太陽和日光層物理學所有領域研究的評論。文章是從領導機關征求，并針對科學界或以上的研究生水平。《生活評論》中的文章對他們所涉及領域的研究現狀進行了評論。他們評估現有工作，將其置于有意義的環境中，并建議需要更多工作和新結果的領域。文章還提供了對關鍵文獻的注釋性見解，并描述了其他可用資源。生活評論在保持一套高質量評論方面是獨一無二的，這些評論由作者保持更新。這就是期刊標題中“活著”一詞的含義。《太陽物理學實況評論》吸引了來自整個太陽系和太陽系物理學界的讀者。研究生可以利用這本雜志開始他們最初的文獻調查，或者學習他們自己周圍的領域；研究者可以利用它快速地找出他們不在當前領域的最新結果，追蹤他們沒有記錄的參考書目，甚至找到他們沒有記錄的領域。EIR自身的技能可以應用到一個新的領域；講師可以使用它來查找信息和可視材料，這些信息和可視材料可以在各個級別的演示中使用。

Living Reviews in Solar Physics is a peer-reviewed, platinum open-access journal, publishing reviews of research in all areas of solar and heliospheric physics. Articles are solicited from leading authorities and are directed towards the scientific community at or above the graduate-student level. The articles in Living Reviews provide critical reviews of the current state of research in the fields they cover. They evaluate existing work, place it in a meaningful context, and suggest areas where more work and new results are needed. Articles also offer annotated insights into the key literature and describe other available resources. Living Reviews is unique in maintaining a suite of high-quality reviews, which are kept up-to-date by the authors. This is the meaning of the word "living" in the journal's title.Living Reviews in Solar Physics attracts readers from the entire solar and heliospheric physics community. Graduate students can use the journal to start their initial literature surveys or to learn about fields peripheral to their own; researchers can use it to quickly find out about the most up-to-date results in fields in which they are not current, to track down bibliographic references that they have not recorded, or even to find areas in which their own skills can be applied in a new field; and lecturers can use it to find information and visual materials that can be used in presentations at all levels.
