Thank you MM. But wouldn't the meaning of the sentence slightly change if I used 'review(s)'? Because my emphasis with reviewing is the actual process of reviewing the article. Am I correct?

Not if the reader knows what you are talking about—which I presume s/he does.

Got it. Thanks. But it would be wrong to use the (s) with 'article' in my original first sentence (..... a lot of articles reviewing), right?
