A "New Ground Research Article": what can I imagine by this term?

New Ground Research Articles are carefully edited representations of selected articles from renowned researchers published in high-ranking peer-reviewed journals. These articles aren’t mere summaries. While keeping the level high, they add context and reasoning to help researchers with different specializations understand what was done. They denote the precise technical terms for the major methods used – like “Monte Carlo simulation“ or “scRNA-seq“ – and give a short explanation while not going into detail. They cut their own path through the research paper while aiming at a “flow“ and a “good read“. So they are an independent genre of text, but true to the content they are based upon.
