A research article is an original study where authors initially clarify the research's objectives, hypotheses, and primary question. They refer to first-hand scientific works and primary sources, articulate the novelty and distinction of their manuscript from other studies, present their unique argument in a structured manner, and ultimately disclose the innovative findings of their research. The outcomes presented in a research article are the direct result of the written work.
Review Article
A review article involves the authors examining a substantial number of published research works and analyzing the latest scientific findings on a specific topic. With a distinct, innovative, or critical approach, they categorize scholarly opinions or provide an in-depth explanation of an issue. A review article typically offers an overview of the research area based on existing studies and generally does not present new or original results.
Brief Communication Paper
Brief Communications are short papers that present significant new observations of wide potential interest to readers, and that will likely stimulate further research in the field. Brief Communications may present results that are not sufficiently elaborated to justify a full Research Article but provide compelling evidence for their potential significance.
