Two types of articles are published in NPR: 

Review articles  can be a comprehensive overviews of an area or an in-depth critique of a more specialist area of work. These articles can be up to 25 pages in length. 

Highlight articles  are shorter, non-comprehensive reviews which give a 'snapshot' of a specialist research area. These articles are generally between 4 and 6 pages in length. 

Articles in NPR  are generally solicited by members of the editorial board, and synopses for all proposed reviews are considered by the board before full articles are commissioned.
