Abstract
We survey on-shell and off-shell higher derivative supergravities in dimensions . Various approaches to their construction, including the Noether procedure, (harmonic) superspace, superform method, superconformal tensor calculus, -matrix and dimensional reduction, are summarized. Primarily the bosonic parts of the invariants and the supertransformations of the fermionic fields are provided. The process of going on-shell, solutions to the Killing spinor equations, typical supersymmetric solutions, and the role of duality symmetries in the context of and invariants are reviewed.
