A short review is presented of recent topics in resonant X‐ray emission spectroscopy (RXES), especially of the polarization dependence of RXES in d and f electron systems. Polarization‐dependent RXES provides important information on the symmetry of electronic states. A scattering‐angle dependence in the fluorescence yield of rare‐earth metals, RXES in polarized and depolarized configurations of TiO 2 , and the magnetic circular dichroism in RXES of ferromagnetic systems are discussed together with typical experimental data.
