It's a new publication format in which state-of-the-art computer algorithms are applied to select the most relevant articles published in Springer Nature journals and create machine-generated literature reviews by arranging the selected articles in a topical order and creating short summaries of these articles.

This book is a comprehensive guide to critical thinking research in education. It explores different definitions of critical thinking and its importance in specialized fields like business, engineering, and science. Presenting research on assessment, this resource delves into the integration of ICT tools for teaching critical thinking.

With practical tools, strategies and tasks to develop critical thinking skills, this book is intended for researchers, educators, and those seeking to improve their critical thinking abilities.
