Can we say a Systemic review as an original article? I found some of a journal have categorized it as an original article while some as a review article. Which one should be correct? Any clarification?
It depends on the journal, some journals categorize it under reviews section and others under original article. In my opinion both are right as each one will have a valid point of view as it is still a ''review'', but with meta-analysis it has some sort of originality.
The following sources may further help, for example: “Original research: These are detailed studies reporting original research and are classified as primary literature. They include hypothesis, background study, methods, results, interpretation of findings, and a discussion of possible implications…..” see: Majumder, 2015.
