Summary

In Chapter 18, “Journal Articles,” we explain the main types of journal articles, namely, review articles, meta-analyses, and research articles. We approach a review article as an appropriate output when research in a particular subfield abounds with little to no recent account of what the research means when put together. Meta-analyses are similar, but take a more quantitative approach to extant studies and may aim to point out trends and/or shortcomings in the given subfield in terms of research methods and applications. We also discuss research articles as one’s unique contribution to the field through their own studies, and explore the pre-registered study track.
