Types of Literature
Publishing an article in a Journal may
turn out to be a cause of stress. You spend many sleepless nights before your
research is complete. Research and its documentation usually take a long time.
However, to enhance your career, you need to publish articles early on. Here is
the good news: you need not wait to have an article published till your
experiments for innovative research are complete as there are other types of
articles you may consider writing before your research is complete. You will find the
following types of literature in journals:
- Primary literature: Original research articles and case studies
- Secondary literature: A review article, book review, and discussion-based article (perspective, opinion, and commentary)
Here, we will give you
a fair idea of different types of articles accepted for publication in
journals. Most Journals specify the types of articles they accept for
publication. Before submitting your article to a journal, you must go through
the instructions or guideline section of the Journal Website. If you want to publish in open access journal, you
need to study the journal of your interest to check the format of articles.
Types of Articles
Some of the types of
articles are as follows:
1. Original research: They may be called the original articles, original
research, or article. This article type follows IMRAD: Introduction, methods,
key findings as results in tables and figures, and a discussion to compare your
key research findings with published literature. Most Journals publish original
research within 3000 to 4000 words; however, some journals may accept up to
12000 words.
2.
Review article: You may choose to
write a review to provide a comprehensive in-depth analysis of a field and
where it is heading. Their word limit varies for various Journals. Though some
Journals accept reviews within 3000 to 35000 words, they may be longer in some
Journals.
3. Clinical case study: If you are related to a medical field and come
across a peculiar case, you can present a clinical case study (also known as a case report). A case study presents a new phenomenon and adds to the existing
knowledge. You may discuss history, diagnosis, and treatment after taking
patient consent. The anonymity of the patient must be maintained.
4. Clinical trial: Again, if you are associated with a medical
field, you may describe the results of a controlled study involving a large
number of patients through a clinical trial. You need to discuss the methodology,
implementation, and results of controlled studies. Word limit may be the same as an original research article. It requires years of
experience and high ethical standards to write this type of article.
5. Perspective: You may write a perspective within 2000 words to
publish in open access journal. You
may present a review of a prevalent concept or a few related concepts as a
perspective.
6. Opinion: You may present your personal viewpoint of a published study
as an opinion. Here, you may give an evidence-based critique of the strength and
limitations of a study in approximately 2000 words.
7. Commentaries: You may write a commentary in approximately
1000 to 1500 words. The subject may be an article, book, or report published
earlier.
8. Short reports/
Letters/ Communications: You may write brief reports of data based on current original
research that you think may stimulate further research in the field.
9. Book review: Your
book review should provide insight into a recently published book.
10.
Methodologies or Methods: You
may write about a new research technique, test, or procedure. You may describe
a novel method or an improved version of an existing technique.
