Template talk:Research paper

The words "research paper" are sufficient for this template. Adding "or scientific journal" introduces confusion through a cross-category comparison. A "journal" is not comparable to a "paper"; a journal contains papers. Also, "research paper" applies equally to topics within and outside the sciences. Adding "scientific" does nothing to clarify the scope of the template. — ℜob C. alias ALAROB 16:06, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
