[1] This type of article presents previously unpublished results of original empirical research, as well as innovative theoretical approaches. Scientific essays may also fall into this category, provided they offer a new perspective on a given issue.

[2] This type of text does not need to include original research results, but rather provides a literature review within a specific thematic area.

[3] The IMRAD structure (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion) is preferred.
