Research publishing: article types
Answer
Depending on the content of your manuscript, a publisher will apply an article type to your submission. This article type indicates the format the journal article will take.
Article types vary by publisher. Examples include; primary research, review, report, commentary.
If you wish to access one of our publisher agreements to publish your paper Open Access (OA), it is important to check the article type of your publication. Most agreements specify that only original research or review article types are eligible for OA publication via the agreement, however, this can differ between publishers.
