Abstract

We show in this contribution that detailed studies of chemical abundances in UV-selected, H ii and starburst nucleus galaxies, together with the development of new chemical evolution models, put strong constraints on the evolutionary stage of starburst galaxies in terms of star formation history. Although the samples of high-redshift galaxies are still too small for statistical studies, the preliminary results give insight into the nature and evolution of distant star-forming objects and their link with present-day galaxies.
