I wanted to publish a research paper which has less relevant stuff compacted and would be more focused on important and relevant items.



Also, I have failed to find a guide to publish small compact research papers.

          John Nash published a paper entitled Equilibrium Points in n-Person Games. The paper is one page long. But it's John Nash, and it was in 1950. It was the beginning of a whole new field (game theory), and the man was a genius. (Credit to MathOverflow.)

            I've seen one-page research papers not made by genius. Mostly unusual natural observations ("I have witnessed a grouse feeding on red pine"), but as said in this answer, it was another era...

          It is entirely up to the journal or conference.



          Most venues have page limits but I have never heard of a minimum. I've seen some really short papers in math journals. Submit it to a venue that you think it would fit in!

          My favorite short paper, which like Nash's in another answer is from the 1950s, is as follows:



          enter image description here



          I do have a hard time seeing how it would be published these days, but clearly very short papers have been acceptable in the past.

            @Buffy - well, the current accepted value from NIST is 1836.152 673 89(17), while $6 pi ^5$ is 1836.118 108 71 to the same number of decimals, so the paper isn't even particularly interesting anymore!

          Yes, if your ideas can be expressed concisely enough. For example if you were to find a counterexample to the Beal Conjecture, then you can write two paragraphs and be done. Watson and Crick's 1953 paper describing the structure of DNA was one page long, and won the Nobel Prize. Some other examples of very short papers (admittedly, some of these are jokes) are here.

          This will often depend on the journal in question. In my field, "Brief Reports" and "Letters" are often quite short, and sometimes less than a single page, highlighting a particular case, a minor point of interest, etc.

            It may be of interest to note that the current accepted value for the ratio coincides with the Battle of the Alamo if read as a year.

            Yes, if your ideas can be expressed concisely enough. For example if you were to find a counterexample to the Beal Conjecture, then you can write two paragraphs and be done. Watson and Crick's 1953 paper describing the structure of DNA was one page long, and won the Nobel Prize. Some other examples of very short papers (admittedly, some of these are jokes) are here.

            This will often depend on the journal in question. In my field, "Brief Reports" and "Letters" are often quite short, and sometimes less than a single page, highlighting a particular case, a minor point of interest, etc.
