Abstract
The growing sample of magnetic stars shows a remarkable diversity in the properties of their magnetic fields. The overall goal of current studies is to understand the origin, evolution, and structure of stellar magnetic fields in stars of different mass at different evolutionary stages. In this chapter we discuss recent measurements together with the underlying assumptions in the interpretation of data and the requirements, both observational and theoretical, for obtaining a realistic overview of the role of magnetic fields in various types of stars.
