I summarize the method commonly used to estimate the current star formation rate per unit volume as a function of redshift from various star formation diagnostics, as well as the often conflicting results from the various multi-wavelength datasets collected in recent years. Combined together, and with the help of theoretical and empirical models, these results allow us to address the issues of excitation, reddening, metallicity, and star formation history in individual galaxies at low redshift. They seem to point to the fact, that a lot of the star formation in the local universe, and potentially at all redshift, occurs in burst mode rather than continuously.
