Types of Articles
Author(s):

Richard M. Glass

Journals publish other items and articles that do not fit into any of the major categories. Examples include personal reflections and essays (eg, A Piece of My Mind in JAMA), news articles, poetry, obituaries, reports on conferences, and articles based on clinical photographs. Authors should examine several issues of a journal to make sure that a submission is appropriate and read the journal’s instructions for authors to determine requirements regarding various types of articles.
