CfFR
A "Call for Further Research" paper may be shorter than other papers due to a lack of available information.
A "Call for Further Research" paper can simply be a one page argument (think of it as a topic proposal that someone else can take up) or it can be a multi-page paper with evidence.

If you are including a "Call for Further Research" section within an experimental or report paper, we recommend making it one page.
