A research article is a primary source...that is, it reports the methods and results of an original study performed by the authors. The kind of study may vary (it could have been an experiment, survey, interview, etc.), but in all cases, raw data have been collected and analyzed by the authors, and conclusions drawn from the results of that analysis.
Research articles follow a particular format. Look for:
A brief introduction will often include a review of the existing literature on the topic studied, and explain the rationale of the author's study. This is important because it demonstrates that the authors are aware of exisiting studies, and are planning to contribute to this existing body of research in a meaningful way (that is, they're not just doing what others have already done).
A methods section, where authors desribe how they collected and analyzed data. Statistical analyses are included. This section is quite detailed, as it's important that other researchers be able to verify and/or replicate these methods.
A results section describes the outcomes of the data analysis. Charts and graphs illustrating the results are typically included.
In the discussion, authors will explain their interpretation of their results and theorize on their importance to existing and future research.
References or works cited are always included. These are the articles and books that the authors drew upon to plan their study and to support their discussion.
A review article is a secondary source...it is written about other articles, and does not report original research of its own. Review articles are very important, as they draw upon the articles that they review to suggest new research directions, to strengthen support for existing theories and/or identify patterns among exising research studies. For student researchers, review articles provide a great overview of the exisiting literature on a topic. If you find a literature review that fits your topic, take a look at its references/works cited list for leads on other relevant articles and books!
There is no difference between the terms 'paper' and 'article'.
A research paper is one where an original study has been performed. A review paper may be either a narrative review, a systematic review or a meta-analysis. A narrative review is like a book chapter: it explains a topic in detail based on previously published research. A systematic review systematically searches the previously published research studies for the answers to a specific question. A meta-analysis combines the results of previously published studies to see the effects, for example, of a specific intervention.
I would suggest that you look for the articles falling in these categories in the journals publishing in your field. This would give you a clearer idea of their differences especially between the different types of review articles. Cheers.

A day before yesterday I met one of the Eminent Professor in India. I have a dialogue with him .According to him Research paper is high standard paper purely based on primary data whereas research article refers qualitative data, also Review paper is based on Secondary data/ meta analysis whereas Review article is just like normal write-up based on on specific study/observation/discussion/current hot topic.
I am not fully agree with him what are your views about this...
I don't see any differences between words article and paper.
I also believe that there is not a strict separation between paper and articles. May be published or unpublished papers. Better use the word "publication".
I also believe that there is not difference between paper and article. However, in the WSSKE site (http://wsske.abes-dn.org.br/km_papers.php?pag=1) from the World Bank, they call article a paper after its publication in a scientific journal. Therefore a paper will be a publication presented, for instance, in a congress.
I have a query about the differences between "research article" and "original research". If you guys have idea on that, please let me know.
A journal article reporting original research (including data and findings, e.g., a primary source) is a research article. At the same time, a literature review that synthesizes findings and data from multiple primary sources is also a research article. What differentiates them is not the term "research article," but the source of the data, that is, a primary source vs. a secondary source.
Research paper and Research articles are same - made out from some research results; Review paper and Review articles are same - made out without any research - but base from findings of all / most of the research carried out on a single topic of expertise , important / burning / emerging topic or any specific topic of interest
Research paper and research articles are one or the same having details of any research work with good conclusive remarks.
On the other hand, review papers and review articles are same which are done without any research and made out of lot of review of literatures.
What is the difference between Literature Survey and Literature Review ?
. What are the difference among journal’s research article, newspaper/magazine’s articles and case study???
The difference between research articles, review articles, newspaper articles, or magazine articles is the level of scientific knowledge it gives to the academic society. Usually research articles, review articles are published in peer-reviewed academic journals - a more high-level scientific stuff for more academic people. But the audience of newspaper articles or magazine articles may be more for general people with meduim-level of knowledge. In all, we can say the goal of the readers of all theses kinds of articles differs.

The kind of study may vary (it could have been an experiment, survey, interview, etc.), but in all cases, raw data have been collected and analyzed by the authors, and conclusions drawn from the results of that analysis.

RESEARCH ARTICLE is the description of the desk job that has been performed by some individual. he/she will describe his experimental methods and share the data related to it .on the other side
REVIEW ARTICLE is done by experienced person in that particular field, who will compare the different research article & give the conclusion or idea ,, what more can be added.
for eg : i want to do some X experiment on animals ie, reseaarch & when the work will be published it will be called research article
& some random capable person saw your work and made any coclusion like the particuar step can be done by other ways,, or any other info could be addedd ie, review article
It is important to note that an original research article, itself is also somehow a review article, but includes extra value, such as a case study, personal interview, or a scientific application.
Therefore we can say that research article is something which adds extra value to review of the previous literature. If you are discussing superiority of these two types, it is definitely research article to have primary importance.

Review articles in academic journals analyze or discuss research previously published by others, rather than reporting new experimental results.[2][3] An expert's opinion is valuable, but an expert's assessment of the literature can be more valuable. When reading individual articles, readers could miss features that are apparent to an expert clinician-researcher. Readers benefit from the expert's explanation and assessment of the validity and applicability of individual studies.[4]
Review articles come in the form of literature reviews and, more specifically, systematic reviews; both are a form of secondary literature.[5] Literature reviews provide a summary of what the authors believe are the best and most relevant prior publications. Systematic reviews determine an objective list of criteria, and find all previously published original experimental papers that meet the criteria; they then compare the results presented in these papers.
Some academic journals likewise specialize in review of a field; they are known as review journals.
The concept of "review article" is separate from the concept of peer-reviewed literature. It is possible for a review article itself to be peer-reviewed or non-peer-reviewed.

A manuscript is a state of a paper or an article, whether original or a review, that is ready or being readied for publication. A paper refers to a published work.
What is the difference between Research Paper, Research Article, Review Paper & Review Article?
Agreed with some scholars that paper is similar to article i.e. research paper is similar to research article & review paper is similar to review article.
However, research paper / article typically encompasses the entire research processes & sections e.g. introduction, literature review, conceptual framework / research model, methodology, result findings, discussion & conclusion. On the other hand, review paper / article only cover certain research processes & sections i.e. introduction & literature review.
There is another type of paper / article called conceptual paper / article i.e. cover more processes which include: introduction, literature review & conceptual framework. This type of paper is excluding methodology, data collection, result findings, discussion & conclusion.
Please be noted some researchers might completed the entire research process but they might want to breakdown their research into few papers / articles for publishing e.g. 1 for review article, 1 for conceptual article, 1 include result findings & discussion etc.
I think there are some differences between research paper and report:
In research paper you present your unique perspective and conclusion, but in report you don not result in new knowledge.
In research paper you analyze and interpret information based on your study but in report you presents analysis and interpretation of others researchers' studies.
This is is really helpful. What are the unique distinctions of a research brief?
In this regard, if we want to discuss more comprehensively; The research paper will be based on the analysis and interpretation of this data. However, the review article or review paper is based on other published articles. It does not report original research.
Research articles are published in journals/magazines while papers are presented at conferences.
