Abstract: The different senses of 'review' in the scientific literature are
distinguished and their roles are sketched. Special attention is paid to
critical reviews of scientific books and to the role of referees/reviewers
of papers submitted to scientific journals. Some gaps in provision are
pointed out. (c) 2006 Springer Science + Business Media, Inc.
