They are typically shorter in length than original research and review articles. Editorial, opinion, and perspective articles are usually solicited or invited by the editorial board of a journal, according to a specific emergent research topic. However, unsolicited work may be considered. Before writing an editorial, opinion, or perspective article, contact the editorial board and discuss the topic of interest.
