Concerning the requirements for publication in prestigious international journals, should all research papers be included empirical methods?
Dear it is not bad because it give insights into new areas of calling for attention for more researches.
Many journals today may reject this way of thinking. Many thanks for your swift reply @Emmanuel Ifeanyi Obeagu.
A theoretical (=conceptual) article is recognized as a scientific article by the scientific community. In my opinion, it can be an excellent contribution for exploratory and descriptive studies, etc. https://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/bar/article-types There are non-scientific interests behind the decision of the journals. For example, position in the database, etc.
Hi,
There are journals that are willing to accept theoretical papers too. It seems that the theoretical papers somehow lost value in recent times, although this type of publication is very important. Here is what Einstein said about this:
"A theory can be proved by experiment; But no path leads from experiment to the birth of a theory".
