I have gone through all IEEE ASSP papers starting from 1950 something.
That would have costed $$$$$$ if I would had paid $35 per paper.
More likely I would not have gone through the papers at all.

A few papers for $20 and $35 is ok if you're an expert who can
convert them to working software, no matter how difficult or unclear
the papers are. But if one is not an expert, finding a working code,
a pseudo code, or clear algorithms, does require a great number
of papers. Many papers reference for details and that means a few
more papers. Best rated papers are often not clear enough. A conference
paper may have a working code but the problem is how to find them
without spending too much money for searching.

I have scanned a crossover paper (JAES 1976 Linkwitz something).
I may summarize it. The system looks simple but, for example, Jamin
project have problems with their implementation. They use FFT based
crossovers now.

I'm willing to summarize the papers if more people would join
the papers2code project. Writing summaries would be a good way to
contribute to a free, open content DSP handbook.
