A striking example of "behind the scenes" of great research: Esther Duflo noted that a crucial enabler of her Nobel-prize-winning work was a masterful synthesis of human resource economics in a handbook chapter.

And it is indeed wonderful!
What a synthesis indeed of a conclusion!
Clearly identifying progress, and also crucial open problems, deeply grounded in a detailed analysis of the literature.

I wish I had such a synthesis for my fields of research also; and that everyone would have access to something like this!
