👉 Minimum Research (min-res) is a metric used in academic and scientific publishing to indicate the minimum amount of research necessary for a study to be considered valid and publishable. It typically refers to a threshold, often set at 10-20 full-text pages of original research, which must be included in a manuscript to ensure that the work contributes significantly new knowledge to its field. This threshold helps journals and reviewers assess whether the published work is substantial enough to warrant publication, balancing the need for thorough research with the practical constraints of time and space in academic publishing.
