3. In brief Original research is the foundation of a research paper. Experiments, surveys, interviews, questionnaires, and other types of analysis may be used depending on the field or subject. Still, authors must collect and analyse raw data and perform an original report. The study and interpretation of this data will be the foundation of the research paper. A review article, also known as a review paper, is a piece of writing focused on previously published papers. It does not include any new studies. In general, review papers summarise the existing literature on a subject to clarify the current state of knowledge on the subject .

4. Introduction The terms " review paper " and " research paper " are not interchangeable. Both have similar characteristics and may even be related, but some variations exist . For Example, the research paper is an academic writing style in which the student must respond to an important, systematic, and theoretical level of questioning. Similarly, a review paper allows students to interpret what they have learned about the subject matter to demonstrate a thorough understanding by writing. For Example, i t can be up to 5,000 words long and come in various formats.

5. Research paper Regardless of the topic, a research paper has a basic structure: the title page, table of contents, introduction/background information, literature review, methodology, findings, discussion, and conclusions/recommendations. Individually these parts have their own set of writing guidelines. The framework is usually the same regardless of the issue question under investigation. This form of paper typically necessitates a significant amount of time for study and writing. contd...

6. There are several different study forms, each with its own characteristics based on data collection methods, such as interviews, observations, questionnaires, surveys, and experiments. Dependent on the volume and complication of the problem question, the analysis may take anything from a day to years, depending on the hypothesis and intent of the study. Review paper On the other hand, a review paper is used to assess students' awareness after they have learned a few topics. For Example, following the completion of a specific theme, students may be asked to compose an essay, take a test, or complete a task related to that theme. In addition, students are expected to write review papers to show that they have acquired the necessary knowledge and skills in a particular topic. contd...

7. A review paper may be written in a critical essay on a current or common topic. The student or research scholar must provide their point of view on the subject while still showing an accurate and concise understanding of the topic when it is structured in this way. The article should have some convincing points and proof or data to back them up. Generally, a review paper is written to demonstrate that a student has studied or gained knowledge of a specific topic. The review paper is usually handed in at the end of the semester and accounts for a significant portion of the final exam. The length of a review paper is generally between 3,000 and 5,000 words

8. General checklist for an integrative review  • Does your introduction include the motivation for the review and explain its contribution to the research field?  • Will your review stimulate and guide future work or provide a new way of thinking?  • Are your propositions justified by theory and past empirical findings?  • Are your propositions justified by theory and past empirical findings?  • Have you summarised and synthesised existing Information throughout the text?  • Does the 'added value' permeate the whole text (not just the conclusions)?  • Is the level of detail appropriate, and is the number of examples justified?  • is your review understandable and potentially helpful to people outside the immediate subject area? 

9. The Key features of a Research paper This type of scholarly writing entails delving into a subject concept to address a specific theoretical question. A standard text is 5,000 words long, although it is often longer. The student is expected to interpret and thoroughly analyse knowledge on a given subject. It can be assigned at any time, but most instructors assign it at the start of the semester to give students ample time to collect Information and draft their papers. This type of paper often includes the compilation of primary data and its subsequent analysis.

11. The Key Features of a Review Paper A student writes this paper to illustrate their understanding of a specific topic. The job is generally between 3,000 and 5,000 words long. A chosen topic should be thoroughly investigated, and the writer should express their viewpoint on the subject at hand. This assignment is typically assigned at the end of the semester and directly impacts the final grade. Scholarly journals, academic works , lab papers, and textbooks should be used as references for the review paper .

14. The Differences between these research and review papers Despite this, there are certain similarities between the two assignments. First, students should choose a subject that picks their interest in each case. They use the same tools, and the paper structures can be pretty similar. The main distinction between these two types of academic writing is that a research paper can be assigned at any time and does not usually count against a student's final grade. Another consideration for writing teachers is that a research paper often includes a hypothesis, while a review paper typically supports a thesis assertion. Furthermore, a research paper typically includes a lengthy list of references. On the other hand, the review paper assignment usually is shorter and does not have a conclusion. Another critical distinction between a research paper and a review paper is that a research paper encourages students to participate in problem-solving activities. In contrast, a review paper assesses the student's expertise rather than necessarily solving the problem

15. Research paper  Review paper  It is usually given at the beginning of the semester term  It is generally shown at the middle or towards the end of the term  It is aimed at solving a particular problem or answer a hypothesis  It is aimed at checking students' knowledge after some themes studied  It usually contains a hypothesis  It usually supports a thesis statement  It does not generally count toward the final grade  It significantly influences the final grade  It can take months and even years to complete  It has a limited time frame  It cannot be in the form of a review paper  It can be in the form of a research paper  It cannot be expressed in less than ten pages  It can be described even on a single page 

16. Conclusion The review and the research paper are types of writing in which the first is based on the second. Both are essential parts of literature and writing since they give readers a better understanding of the topic. Reviews and research papers can be obtained from a variety of outlets. Both are different in terms of duration and material. These papers must adhere to a set of guidelines. Anyone wishing to join the world of writing must possess strong reading and analytical abilities, which will aid in writing the review and research article .
