  There is no difference between the terms 'paper' and 'article'. A research paper is one where an original study has been performed. A review paper may be either a narrative review, a systematic review or a meta-analysis. A narrative review is like a book chapter: it explains a topic in detail based on previously published research. A systematic review systematically searches the previously published research studies for the answers to a specific question. A meta-analysis combines the results of previously published studies to see the effects, for example, of a specific intervention. I would suggest that you look for the articles falling in these categories in the journals publishing in your field. This would give you a clearer idea of their differences especially between the different types of review articles. Cheers.

  Reviews are a broad category of articles. A review may be a narrative review, a systematic review or a meta-analysis. A narrative review is more like a short book chapter. Having a narrative review published is a matter of prestige since most journal editors (including myself) ask the authors to submit a short note on their achievements in the field before submitting the review. Therefore narrative reviews are generally accepted from experienced people only. On the other hand, systematic reviews and meta-analyses are considered primary studies and are credited MORE than original studies. As an editor, what I would look for in the papers is the amount of contribution to medicine. The degree of contribution of a systematic review or a meta-analysis can not be matched even by the largest of trials. I'm sure that committees evaluating the work of scientists would also think on the same lines. However I also want to add that this does not mean that if a person's publication list is composed entirely of reviews, he would be considered a good scientist. There should be a balance of both. :)
