Answer:
I’m newly qualified to answer this since my first first-authored review paper (technically, it is a feature article) just got accepted last week, and I’ve written four other first-authored “Original Contribution” research papers.
An original contribution needs to find one important but specific question in your field and the paper solves it, or makes progress towards solving it. It tends to zoom in to and thoroughly analyze one or two design spaces. This is how the field gets pushed along—one original research paper at a time.
A review paper, however, serves a fundamentally different role. A review paper is one or more meta levels higher—it is about showing you how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together by repeatedly zooming in and out, and it should discuss which parts of the puzzle are still unsolved and where we currently are. Review papers tend to have very dense bibliographies because they also serve to bring a neophyte up-to-speed with that field of research. Thus, one needs to be intimately familiar and involved in that field to be invited to write a review paper. It is easier to get good at one very narrow part than it is to know one’s field in the entirety of its breadth too. Usually, review articles tend to be by invitation only.
Here are some of the different types of articles from the journal’s web page[1]:
Original Papers are unsolicited, peer-reviewed, in-depth reports of outstanding novel findings that also have important and general implications for specialists working in other fields. The introduction should summarize the reasons for undertaking the work and the main conclusions that can be drawn. The final section should summarize the major conclusions of the article. The essential findings presented in a Original Paper should be novel and should not have been published previously.
Review Articles are peer-reviewed and give an overview of recent progress in important fields of research, providing the readers with a guide to the relevant literature, an appreciation of the significance of the work, and an outlook into potential future directions. It is not intended that Review Articles are necessarily comprehensive, but rather insightful, selective, critical, opinionated, and even visionary. The reference list should be well-balanced. Unpublished results should not be included.
Feature Articles as topical reviews should provide an overview of a current topic in the format of a topical review of about 10–12 (max. 15) journal pages. Due to this length restriction, a complete bibliographic overview on the existing literature cannot be expected, but referencing should be well-balanced. The manuscript should represent a snapshot of most recent progress, the state of research and particularly relevant aspects, with focus on the highlights and possibly open or controversially discussed questions. They are intended to inform an audience not immediately familiar with the specific topic. Original, previously unpublished results may also be included to a certain extent.
Comments on publications in the journal are welcome if they contribute to the scientific discussion. If a Comment is accepted for publication following editorial assessment and peer review, the authors of the publication to which the Comment refers will be given the opportunity to submit a response to the Comment, which would be published alongside the Comment.
Rapid Research Letters are priority-handled, peer-reviewed, concise and brief articles intended for the fast dissemination of important findings with a high degree of novelty, urgency and/or significance. The essential findings presented should not have been published previously.
Letters are popular among industry researchers due to the speed of writing and publishing compared to a full journal article.
