in review

Under careful examination

In review describes something being examined or assessed, often formally.

A case in review is under reconsideration by a court or authority.

The phrase also marks retrospective summaries: the year in review gathers highlights from the past twelve months.

In academic and scientific contexts, a paper in review is being evaluated for publication.
