Modern researchers have difficulties in establishing clear boundaries of genres. Scientists opinions on these issues differ. The complexity of the classification of works is associated with historical changes in literature, which entail the evolution of genres. The authors of the article attempt to systematize the data of the theory of literature and determine the stable content and formal features of the genre.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
