1. There are two main types of articles: research articles and non-research articles. Research articles report on the results of original research studies and contain specific elements like an abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion, and conclusions. 2. Non-research articles do not report on original research. They are based on analyzing and critically thinking about previously published work on a topic. The main part expresses the author's own opinion and perspective developed from their analysis. 3. Both types of articles should be written in a clear, systematic way and include key elements like an abstract, introduction, main body, and references. However, non-research articles are usually shorter at 10-20

2. Difference between research articles and non
research articles
 Article are written works designed to be published in journals or a collection of articles written in a
scientific manner and follow agreed or established guidelines. Meanwhile, scientific articles in
particular can be raised from the results of field research, the results of thoughts and literature
reviews, or the results of project development.

3.  In terms of writing systematics and contents, articles are grouped into research articles and non-
research articles.

4. Research Article
 As the name implies, research articles are of course articles containing the results of a study,
research articles contain the following characteristics.

5.  First, it contains only important things which include research results, discussion of research results,
and research conclusions. While other supporting material is made as concise as possible.
 Second, the writing systematics. In scientific articles contains Title, Author Name, Abstract,
Introduction, Research Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions and Suggestions, & Bibliography.
 Third, the writing procedure. There are three possible procedures for writing research articles. First,
research articles are written before a complete research report is produced. The goal is to collect
input from readers before the researcher completes the complete writing. This input is expected to
improve the quality of the research findings. Second, results articles for journals are written after
the official technical report has been prepared. This second procedure is applicable because
generally writing official technical research reports is compulsory, whereas writing articles is only an
advice. Third, research articles published in journals are the only writings written by researchers.
This third alternative is usually carried out by researchers who fund their own research. For self-
funding research, research articles in journals are the most effective and efficient communication
forum.

6. Non Research articles
 If research articles require a study first, then non-research articles are not the case. Non-scientific
articles are often termed articles on the results of thoughts on a problem as outlined in writing.

7.  In an effort to produce articles of this type, the writer first examines the sources that are relevant to
the problem, both those that are in line with or against what he thinks.
 Suggested sources to refer to in order to produce thought-provoking articles are also articles of
relevant thought results, previous research results, in addition to theories that can be extracted
from textbooks.

8.  The most vital part of a research article is the author’s opinion or stance on the subject discussed,
which is developed from an analysis of previously published thoughts on the same problem and the
author’s new thoughts about what needs to be studied if any.
 So, thought-provoking articles are not just excerpts from a number of articles, let alone
transplanting writings from a number of sources, but are the results of the writer’s analytical and
critical thinking.

9.  The provisions for writing non-research articles basically also apply to writing short papers (i.e.
papers that are not more than 20 pages in length), except in abstract short papers and keywords
are not required.
 The term non-research article refers to any type of scientific article that is not a research report.
Articles that fall into the category of non-research articles include articles that examine a theory,
concept or principle, develop a model, describe certain facts or phenomena, assess a product, and
many other types. Because of the variety of these types of articles, the way they are presented in
journals varies widely.

10.  A non-research article contains the essentials; Therefore, usually the number of pages provided is
not much (between 10-20 pages). The main elements that must be present in non-research and
systematic articles are: article title, author’s name, abstract and keywords, introduction, main part,
closing, and list of references.
