Review vs Original Research Paper

ORIGINAL RESEARCH PAPER
-------------------------------------

There are four (4) types of novel technical results:

  1. An algorithm;
  2. A system construct: such as hardware design, software system, protocol, etc.; The main goal of your revised paper is to ensure that the next person who designs a system like yours doesn't make the same mistakes and takes advantage of some of your best solutions. So make sure that the hard problems (and their solutions) are discussed and the non-obvious mistakes (and how to avoid them) are discussed;
  3. A performance evaluation: obtained through analyses, simulation or measurements; or
  4. A theory: consisting of a collection of theorems.
    5. Your final camera ready paper should focus on: 1) Describing the results in sufficient details to establish their validity; 2) Identifying the novel aspects of the results, i.e., what new knowledge is reported and what makes it non-obvious; and 3) Identifying the significance of the results: what improvements and impact do they suggest. The Number of minimum references for the original research paper is 25 references (and minimum 20 recent journal articles).

REVIEW PAPER
----------------------
The paper should present a critical, constructive analysis of the literature in a specific field through summary, classification, analysis and comparison.
The function and goal of the review paper is: 1) to organize literature; 2) to evaluate literature; 3) to identify patterns and trends in the literature; 4) to synthesize literature; or 5) to identify research gaps and recommend new research areas.

The structure includes:

  1. Title – in this case does not indicate that it is a review article.
  2. Abstract – includes a description of subjects covered.
  3. Introduction includes a description of context (paragraph 1-3), motivation for review (paragraph 4, sentence 1) and defines the focus (paragraph 4, sentences 2-3)
  4. Body – structured by headings and subheadings
  5. Conclusion – states the implications of the findings and an identifies possible new research fields
  6. References (“Literature Review”) – organised by number in the order they were cited in the text.

Number of minimum references for review paper is 50 references (and minimum 40 recently journal articles).
