How can I tell if it's a research article?
Look for these elements in the article:
- Background
- Objective
- Methods
- Results
- Conclusions
Academic research articles will almost always include sections with these headings. If you see them, you know you're reading a research article.
If you find a recent Review article, you can check its references list for current Research articles.
