It is helpful to familiarize yourself with the different types of articles published by Carbon Research journals.

Original Research Articles
This kind of articles should be with a maximum of 8,000 words (including tables, references, figure captions and endnotes) and 12 images. Research articles longer than 8000 words will be accepted on a very exceptional basis, and only if the Editors consider that the topic requires the extension.
Review Articles
Review articles are required to be prepared with a maximum 10,000 words (excluding references). Review articles intend to summarize about the state of the art in heritage conservation and revitalization issues. Review articles would therefore analyze recent research published by scholars in the field, offering a valuable reference from the perspective of theory.
