Research Essay is for mature work, requiring adequate explanations of the conceptual background, methodology, and data and analysis. A typical Research Essay will be under 8,000 words (including abstract, references, figures, and tables). A longer Research Essay may be accepted if the Editors deem it worth the extra space.
Review Paper is an article that presents the current state of understanding on a topic. Review Papers survey, summarize and assess previously published work and can be highly useful by introducing other scholars to the existing literature and conveying the current state of the field. A typical Review Paper has 8,000-12,000 words (including abstract, references, figures, and tables).

Authors should describe contributions using CRediT roles where possible.
