90% of papers I read turn out useless. I have a hard time finding good review articles among all that watered-down garbage. If I had to pay to view each one or even subscribe...I wouldn’t get too far.


At the same time, that other 10% might be completely invaluable. Which makes this entire situation such a mess :/


it is for this reason that I am biased to papers from the 90s and earlier (for certain fields). when there are less papers churned out of desperation to fulfill university degree requirements or yet another use case report of a third party's framework/library.
