These categorized literatures include many subcategories: the writing style changes depending on the audience. When a researcher presents their findings to the general public, they modify their writing style based on their knowledge and familiarity with the topic. Furthermore, we can find similar practice in other types of writings, except research papers. Typically, research articles are written for submission to journals. Their writing style should therefore be specialized for those with general interest and knowledge in the field, and precise in their terminology.

Discussion articles are similar in composition to Review articles, except that they do not need to summarize all the content of the topic. Additionally, these types of articles tend to be convenient for expressing the author's point of view due to their subjective writing style. However, this type of article offers excellent opportunities to improve communications between researchers.
