What is publication type?
Publication type refers to the classification of academic articles based on content and intent. Common types include original research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, case studies, conference abstracts, and opinion pieces. The type of publication affects how it is indexed, cited, and interpreted.
Why is publication type important in scientific analysis and stakeholder profiling?
Different publication types carry varying levels of scientific weight and influence. For example, original research in a high-impact journal may be more influential than a conference abstract. Accurately categorizing publication type helps inform Rising Star scoring, KOL profiling, and evidence prioritization.
