Publish — Submission

Before submitting your work, get to know the descriptions of the accepted types of publications.

Article Types

IntechOpen Journals considers the following types of publications in their titles:

Research Articles

Research articles summarize new findings that have not been published elsewhere; this includes negative results. The work should be of interest to researchers in the same subject discipline. The journals consider papers for publication that represent sound science.

Reviews

Review articles, including mini-Reviews, are also considered by IntechOpen journals. These review articles will provide an overview of a sub-field of research, bridging together recently published papers so that a broader audience, or those new to the field, can understand the advancements recently made in that area of research.

News & Views

News & Views articles are brief commentaries on relevant recent findings, publications, research activities, or initiatives within a researcher's field and aim at encouraging scientific discussion by making it accessible to a broader audience while still providing a critical assessment of the research in question and underlining the author's expertise in the field. Authors should not use their own research for the "News" section of the paper and should avoid extensively referring to their own work.

This paper type can be accepted for peer review by invitation only .

Editorial

Editorials are non peer-reviewed articles written by the journal Editor in Chief, Section Editors, or Special Issue Editor aimed at introducing the aims of the journal or a Special Issue or addressing a trending topic. Editorials should not include unpublished or original data. If the aim of the Editorial is to act as a concluding article for a Special Issue, it should be submitted once all contributing articles have gone through the review process. This content type is not peer-reviewed but can be cited using the DOI. We do not consider unsolicited Editorials for publication.

Letter to the Editor

Letter to the Editor is a type of paper that serves as a commentary on published articles. It is a short form of communication offering an alternative or new interpretation, correcting an unnoticed error in a published paper, or extending a discussion that serves as a control mechanism after the article publication. This article type is usually peer reviewed by the Editor in Chief or the handling Editor of the paper it discusses. Often the Editor will have comments or questions the authors must address before publication. The article can be cited using the DOI.

Case Report

A Case Report is a study and detailed analysis of a particular set of conditions (specific case) - prevalent in medical sciences. It brings the informative analysis of precise scientific procedures, tests or experiments results.
