Summary: Social reading sites provide insights into readers' responses to literature, and data analysis can offer critical understanding of how people engage with texts. Computational modeling of reviews on sites like Goodreads reveals a non-professional discussion space, including summaries of plots, subplots sequencing, and readers' impressions of characters. Through the development of computational tools, researchers are able to extract a reader-generated narrative model and gain multi-modal insights into readers' opinions of characters.

Summary: This article provides an in-depth analysis of book reviews by different critics to address the question of how cultural critics in the digital age convince audiences of their value. The results show that both professional and amateur critics employ long-standing critical strategies to construct their authority by analyzing, contextualizing, and discussing the book's reception. However, amateur critics distinguish themselves by incorporating their personal experiences into their reviews, suggesting a new way of establishing authority.

Summary: The need to synthesize existing research to inform policy, practice, and research is increasingly recognized. Umbrella reviews, using explicit and systematic methods, are effective in comparing and contrasting findings of individual reviews and providing an overall picture of research findings. While many methodological components of umbrella reviews are well executed, there are specific methodological issues that require further attention in future reviews to ensure best practice.
