Journals frequently dictate the types of articles in which they are interested.
According to their websites, for example: the Journal of Nanotechnology publishes
research articles or review articles (2010); the Journal of Animal Sciences accepts
research articles, literature reviews, technical notes, or letters (2010); and
Administrative Science Quarterly publishes research articles, theoretical articles, or
book reviews (2010). The kind of article written will depend on the work which has
been done, and the target journal for publication.
