Article Types

Original Research Article

Original research articles present novel findings derived from empirical research, obtained through experiments, data collection, or fieldwork. These articles typically follow a structured format, comprising an abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion. The primary aim of an original research article is to contribute new scientific knowledge or insights to a specific field, often involving comprehensive data analysis and a rigorous examination of the employed methodology. Such articles generally range from 6,000 to 10,000 words in length. [Template]

Review Article

In contrast, review articles do not present new experimental data. Rather, they provide a comprehensive summary and critical analysis of existing research on a specific topic. These papers synthesize findings from multiple studies, identify emerging trends, and highlight gaps or areas that require further investigation. The primary objective of a review article is to offer a broader perspective on the subject, thereby enhancing the understanding of current knowledge and guiding future research directions within the field. Review articles typically consist of 5,000 to 8,000 words and include more than 50 references. [Template]

Short Communication

Short communications typically report specific results and are often published more rapidly than other types of papers within the same journal. These concise reports generally focus on particular aspects of research or preliminary findings. Short communications are shorter than full-length original research articles and often omit detailed descriptions of the methodology. The primary purpose of a short communication is to quickly disseminate novel or significant results that may not yet warrant a comprehensive research article but are nonetheless important to the scientific community. This format is commonly used to share new techniques or early-stage findings from ongoing studies. Short communications typically range from 3,000 to 5,000 words. [Template]
