Abstract

This paper presents a study of 97 papers classified as review papers by Clarivate's Web of Science. The 97 peer-reviewed papers were published in three prestigious information and library science journals. According to the findings, 57 of the 97 alleged reviews are genuine. 37 research articles, brief communication, case studies, and film reviews are among the 40 papers mislabeled as reviews. The author identifies the causes of these misclassifications, discusses the implications of these misclassifications, and suggests potential solutions to avoid them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
