Many a time, we come across the term "Full Length" publication. Is there any or set of specific requirement(s) so that a publication can be called a "Full Length" publication??
Hello
Full-Length Articles
The journal emphasizes the importance of good scientific writing and clarity in presentation of the concepts, apparatus, and sufficient background information that would be required for thorough understanding by scientists in other disciplines.
What is the difference between short communication and full length paper?
Actually, a short communication aims at establishing one single result, and it should be written in no more than 4 pages, while a full length article may include more than one results, and there is usually a page limit higher then 4.

Ingrid is correct. In research-terms, a full-length article will encompass a whole study. It may be a single outcome or multiple outcomes depending on the approach and methodology i.e. mixed methods will usually produce multiple outcomes. What Ingrid refers to as a 'short communication' may also be called 'research in brief' (or a similar term). It signifies that part of the design process has been conducted and 'early' results are in of interest. This type of shorter publication usually works on the basis that the full results will be published once completed.
Agreed that a full length article may have broader dimensions than a short communication. Whether these also differ in merit and significance considering the journals in which such articles got published??
Full length article is the one which describe methodology in details, very elaborative results and comprehensive discusion.
A publication which includes complete and critical presentation and discussion of all results with proper facts and figures by dividing into various body parts like abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results and discussion, cunclusion, references etc.
In math, at least, a full paper is the standard one - filled with details.
So that's everything that is not an abstract/extended abstract.
A survey is another matter - it's not a standard paper, but a longer review of part of the literature. That is some times an invited one, but a paper with a long review can, under some circumstances, be published as a review in any case. (I have one such paper, that was submitted as a standard paper, but the editor changed it into a review paper - which was fine by me, as it gained more exposure.)
I think Michael is right in that a "full length" publication is not an abstract or extended abstract.
Sometime this term is being used for paper published conference proceedings, I think.
