Introduction
Research is complete only when the results are shared
with the scientific community . Although such sharing is
accomplished in various ways, both formal and informal,
the traditional medium for communicating research
results is the scientific journals.
Types of Articles
1. Empirical studies
2. Literature reviews
3. Theoretical articles
4. Methodological articles
5. Case studies
6. Other types of articles
Empirical studies
Empirical studies are report original research. These include
secondary analysis that test hypothesis by presenting novel
analysis of data not considered are addressed in previous
reports.
1. Introduction: development of the problem under
investigation, including its historical antecedent, and
statement of the investigation.
2. Method: description of the procedures used to conduct the
investigation
3. Discussion: summary, interpretation, and implications of the
results.
Literature reviews
Literature reviews, include research syntheses and metaanalysis, are critical evaluation that has already been
published.
1. Define and clear the problem
2. Summarize previous investigations to inform the reader
of the state of research
3. Identify relations, contradictions, gaps and in
consistencies in the literature; and
4. Suggest the next step or steps in solving the problem.
Theoretical Articles
In theoretical authors draw on existing research literature to
advance theory. Author of theoretical articles trace the
development of theory to expand and refine theoretical
constructs or present a new theory are analyze existing
theory, pointing out flows or demonstrating the advantage
of one theory over another.
Methodological Articles
Methodological articles present new methodological
approaches, modifications of existing methods, or
discussions of quantitative and data analytic approaches to
the community of researchers. Methodological articles are
present level that makes them accessible to the well-read
researcher and provide sufficient detail for researchers to
assess the applicability of the methodology to their
research problem.
Case Studies
Case studies illustrate a problem; indicate a means for
solving a problem, and/or shed light on needed research,
clinical applications or theoretical matters.
Protecting confidentiality
When researchers use case studies to describe their research,
they are prohibited for disclosing confidential, personally
identifiable information concerning their patients,
individual or organizational clients, students, research
participants, or recipients of services.
Conflict of interest
In all scientific disciplines, professional communications are
presumed to be biased on objective interpretations of
evidence and unbiased interpretation of fact. An authors
economic and commercial interests in products or services
used or discussed in a paper may color such objectivity.
Determining authorship
As early as practicable in a research project, the
collaborators should decide on which tasks are necessary
for the projects completion, who the work will be
divided, which tasks or combination of tasks merits
authorship credit, and on what level credit should be given
(first author, second author, etc)
Order of authorship
Authors are responsible for determining authorship and for
specifying the order in which two are more authors name
appear, in the byline. The general rule is that the name of
the principle contributor should appear first, with
subsequent names in order of decreasing contribution, but
this convention can vary from field to field.
Reviewers
Editorial review of a manuscript requires that the editors and
reviewers circulate and discuss the manuscript. During the
review process, the manuscript is a confidential and
privileged document.
