Research-derived: A document that presents, in a detailed manner, the original results of completed research projects.
Reflection-derived: A document that presents the results of completed research from an analytical, interpretive, or critical perspective of the author on a specific topic, drawing on original sources.
Review-derived: A document resulting from completed research in which the results of published or unpublished investigations in a field of science or technology are analyzed, systematized, and integrated, with the purpose of reporting advances and development trends. It is characterized by presenting a thorough bibliographic review of at least 50 references.
Short Article: A brief document presenting original, preliminary, or partial results of a scientific or technological investigation, which generally requires prompt dissemination.
