Article Types: New Advances Brain & Critical Care accepts full-length Research Articles, Reviews, Mini-reviews, Case Reports, Editorial, Letter to the Editor, Commentary, Rapid Communications and Perspectives, Case in Images, Clinical Images, and Conference Proceedings.
Research Articles: Research Articles are written based on laboratory observations or research in clinical settings following standard research methods and techniques such as empirical surveys by collecting data from a representative sample size. The research article critically analyzes the data/observations using appropriate statistical tools, tabulations, charts, and diagrams to draw conclusions. Research articles must not exceed the word limit of 8000 and must follow the prescribed format ready for publication. The chosen classification will appear in the published manuscript above the manuscript title.
Review Articles: Review articles are also scientific observations, yet they can be written based on the existing research data published in various forms. For example, an author may write a review article by analyzing a series of published documents on traumatic brain injury cases and intensive care mechanisms and drawing conclusions, suggesting changes if any. Review articles should be within the 6000-words limit.
Case Studies: Case studies are developed based on the exclusive study of a specific case or situation. A study on children suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder in war-affected zones can be a case study because it observes the children’s mental apprehensions alone in the given socio-economic, politically disastrous conditions. . Case studies can be from 3000-5000 words.
Short Communication: Short communication is a small discussion of any given topic within 800 words and it generally would not follow any specific research technique. It rather observes any scientific concept that is published in the current or previous issue and expresses the writer’s views on it.
Editorial Articles: Editors are expert opinions, which generally would not exceed 800 words. The expert, being an authority on the subject writes on recent trends, developments, challenges, etc., and observes/warns the readers on a specific issue. For example, a neurology expert may write how occupational hazards like frequent night shifts may affect the biological circadian rhythm of the individuals as an editorial.
Letters to the Editors: Letters to the editors are the reader’s perspectives, opinions, and observations to the editor seeking clarity, questioning the validity, and making observations on the gaps in the research published in the current or previous issue. Letters must not exceed 400 to 500 words. Perspectives
Perspectives: Perspectives are experts’ opinions on policies, principles, and decisions of the government, and their consequences on the people or society. Systematics and valid observations of a specialist on aging may write perspectives on recent medicinal practices in treating dementia among the aged, without exceeding 1000 words.
Proceedings: Proceedings are collections of abstracts accepted for presentation at the conference. Bibliographic representation of such proceedings adds value to the participant’s profile and academic indexing.
