dc.description.abstractIn this review, we present a brief description of observational efforts to understand the Galactic thick disk and its relation to the other Galactic components. This review primarily focused on elemental abundance patterns of the thick disk population to understand the process or processes that were responsible for its existence and evolution. Kinematic and chemical properties of disk stars establish that the thick disk is a distinct component in the Milky Way, and its chemical enrichment and star formation histories hold clues to the bigger picture of understanding the Galaxy formation.en
