Reader can mean a person who is reading a [[publication]].

[[Spin]] has been defined as a specific intentional or unintentional [[report]]ing that fails to faithfully reflect the nature and range of findings and that could affect the impression the results produce in [[reader]]s. 

A article, based on a [[literature review]], reports the various practices of spin from misreporting by "beautification" of methods to misreporting by misinterpreting the results. It provides data on the prevalence of some forms of spin in specific fields and the possible effects of some types of spin on readers' interpretation and research dissemination. They also discuss why [[researcher]]s would spin their reports and possible ways to avoid it
