Types of articles
Research articles
A research article is a full, original study conducted by the author(s). It investigates a specific research problem or hypothesis in depth, typically involving the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data. A defining feature of research articles is their systematic presentation of the methodology, results, and discussion, enabling readers to understand not only what was found but how it was discovered. Research articles contribute new knowledge that can inform subsequent studies and practical applications in related fields. Manuscripts submitted to AJE must not exceed 8,000 words, excluding references.
Review articles
A review article provides comprehensive examinations of existing research on a specific topic. They synthesize and critically evaluate selected literature, identify theoretical or empirical gaps, and offer recommendations for future research directions. Review articles submitted to AJE must not exceed 10,000 words, excluding references.
