Article Classification

The authors must select a category for each article submitted. The category which most closely describes their article should be selected from the list below.

  • Research: Describe any form of preliminary research performed by the authors. These papers may include research involving the testing of models, frameworks, data, surveys, or the following research types: action market or empirical.
  • Conceptual paper: Hypotheses-based papers, which aren’t centered on research, but instead tend to be more exegetical. These papers focus on theory, philosophical discussions, and comparative studies.
  • Case study: Depict existing stories and encounters within organizations. Normally, these papers do not describe research and are oftentimes subjective in nature. Legal case reports and hypothetical case studies used for educational purposes are also included in this category.
  • General review: This category contains papers which are instructional and informative; including papers that deliver a synopsis or historical analysis or a given concept, method or occurrence.
  • Literature review: All categories of papers must cite applicable literature. However, this category is reserved for papers that explain, interpret, or critique works in a specific area of study. Literature reviews may range from more selective bibliography approaches by offering guidance on information sources, to a comprehensive approach by featuring key contributors’ works as they relate to the progression of a subject area, examining various viewpoints throughout.
  • Technical paper: Technical by nature, these papers define and examine products, procedures or services.
  • Viewpoint: Papers, including journalistic works, which rely on the author’s opinions and rationalization are included in this category.
