Research Articles

This is the most common type of journal manuscript used to publish full reports of data from research. It may be called an Original Article, Research Article, Research, or just Article, depending on the journal. The Original Research format is suitable for many different fields and different types of studies. It includes full Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion sections.

 

Review Articles

Review Articles provide a comprehensive summary of research on a certain topic, and a perspective on the state of the field and where it is heading. They are often written by leaders in a particular discipline after an invitation from the editors of a journal. Reviews are often widely read (for example, by researchers looking for a full introduction to a field) and highly cited. 

 

Technical Note

Technical notes are brief articles focused on a new technique, method, or procedure. These should describe important modifications or unique applications for the described method. Technical notes can also be used for describing a new software tool or computational method. The structure should include an Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusions, with a suggested minimum word count of 3000 words.

 

Letter to the Editor

The Letter to the Editor for HighTech and Innovation Journal should start with "To the Editor", and contain the body of the article of not longer than 1000 words which may be broken into subsections with short, informative headings. Letters to the Editor may be edited for clarity or length and may be subject to peer review at the editors' discretion.

 

Special Issue "Grand Challenges Initiative: Sustainability and Development"

Closed (01 December 2023)

Over the next decade, the global scientific community must take on the challenge of delivering the knowledge required to support efforts to achieve sustainable development in the context of global environmental change. Solution-focused, strategic, interdisciplinary, long-term research is needed to improve our knowledge of the social-environmental risks facing humanity and to provide science-based support for actions to achieve sustainable development. We rapidly need to deepen our understanding of how the Earth system operates in response to human pressures, improve our ability to predict future risk patterns, and explore social transformations in the world that can overcome barriers to sustainability.

This Special Issue aims to collect both original research and review articles regarding applications of experimental or methodological and theoretical approaches in revealing the Sustainability and Development.
