Something I’ve seen annoyingly often when digging into the literature is (often critical) reviews of the document I’m after. This is annoying because everything is behind a paywall, and the title often makes it look like I’m getting the document I’m really after, when in fact I’m just getting a 2-page review written by a different person (which I only discover after I’ve paid for it). I very rarely pay for documents behind paywalls; when I do, it’s because the document in question just can’t be obtained another way. According to my unreliable memory, at least as often as not, it’s turned out that I’m making this mistake, and only obtain a short review of the document I’m really after.
It seems to me that these reviews are mostly written for books.
I might be wrong, but I may have seen some back and forth in some of these? Like, an author response.
