Article types

(1) Original research article
An original research article is based on original, basic and applied research and/or analysis. This type of article aims to describe significant
and novel research. Authors of original research articles must confirm that the essential findings presented have never been published or under
consideration elsewhere.

This article type typically has at least 5 tables and/or figures in total, approximately 40 references, and 7,000 words (inclusive of Abstract and
References).
(2) Review article
A review article provides scholarly survey as well as balanced summarization and highlights of recent developments in a research field or
emerging/future trends. Authors should ensure that all perspectives from different works are linked in balanced and cohesive manner, taking
into consideration different schools of thought.
This article type typically has at least 5 tables and/or figures in total, approximately 70 references, and 7,000 words (inclusive of Abstract and
References).

(3) Perspective article
A perspective article contains the author's scholarly opinions on a particular subject area or topic. Unlike a review, a perspective article covers
a more specific part of the field, aiming to provide new insights into the subject matter. However, these perspectives or opinions should be
objective in line with the spirit of academia. A good perspective piece should stimulate further discussions and initiate novel experiments.
This article type typically has 5 tables and/or figures in total, approximately 70 references, and 7,000 words (inclusive of Abstract and
References).
(4) Mini-review
Similar to a full-length review article, a mini-review article provides scholarly survey as well as balanced summarization and highlights of recent
developments in a research field or emerging/future trends, but in a much more focused manner. Authors should ensure that all perspectives
from different works are linked in balanced and cohesive manner, taking into consideration different schools of thought.
This article type typically has about 3 tables and/or figures in total, approximately 25 references, and 3,000 words (inclusive of Abstract and

(5) Case report

A case report serves to communicate unique observations or findings from a human patient that are useful to the growing literature in the field
of translational medicine. These findings include and are not limited to the use of new diagnostic and detection techniques and improvement
of treatment outcome through interdisciplinary approach. The case as described in a case report must involve an important area of health and
the report should present a clear and useful message.
This article type typically has 1-3 tables and/or figures in total, approximately 15 references, and 2,000 words (inclusive of Abstract and
References). In Advances Radiotherapy & Nuclear Medicine, the abstract of a case report is unstructured and should be in the length of 100-
150 words. The main text should contain 4 main sections: Background, Case presentation, Discussion, and Conclusion.
(6) Letters

This article type is a collection of unsolicited letters from the readers who wish to comment on specific articles published in Advances
Radiotherapy & Nuclear Medicine or another field-related journal. Alternatively, a letter can be written on an unrelated topic of interest to the
journal’s readership.
Ideally, a letter should present an in-depth, scholarly re-analysis of a previously published article in Advances Radiotherapy & Nuclear
Medicine or in another field-related journal, accompanied by the reader’s constructive insights and comments. Letters containing new ideas,
supporting data or data criticizing the indicated article may be subjected to peer review at editors’ discretion. Authors should specify the intended
recipient of the letters, i.e., Editor or specific author(s).
