> Review articles, sometimes called surveys.

Is this field specific? I have read survey articles in math and biology, and was told by some of my profs that they use these articles as an introduction to a new field.

A quick Google search seems to show these exist in CS (along with tutorial papers), physics, and chemistry but I'm having a little difficulty finding statistics survey papers (survey methods come up instead).

Is the problem that there aren't enough of them or they are behind paywalls?

For Stats, check out https://www.annualreviews.org/journal/statistics

Please suggest others if you find them.

Annual Reviews has a bunch of journals for surveys of various fields. Most of them are paywalled, but there's ways around that.
