Types of Submissions:

1. Empirical Research Article: These papers are based on personal research experience, whether it be an experiment, a quasi-experiment, or a field experiment. The author tests hypotheses by systematically collecting data and observations. Most often, these articles are characterized by a Methods and Materials section.

2. Original Arguments: Articles in this category encompass a broad category including literature reviews and document-based research. In this case, authors collect and analyze data or arguments from credible sources. In compiling this evidence, they make a compelling case for their claim. These arguments must be carefully organized, exhibit novelty, and clearly highlight societal impact.

3. Media (art, video, etc): These include any original and alternative forms of research. A written description must be included with an explanation to why the given submission qualifies as research, its inspiration, and its significance.
