A few options that may fit.

Research article/paper = contains original research
Review articel/paper = does not contain original research, but attempts to summmarize current state of undertstanding on a given topics.

See:

A research article is a primary source...that is, it reports the methods and results of an original study performed by the authors. The kind of study may vary (it could have been an experiment, survey, interview, etc.), but in all cases, raw data have been collected and analyzed by the authors, and conclusions drawn from the results of that analysis.

Research articles follow a particular format. Look for:
A brief introduction will often include a review of the existing literature on the topic studied, and explain the rationale of the author's study. This is important because it demonstrates that the authors are aware of exisiting studies, and are planning to contribute to this existing body of research in a meaningful way (that is, they're not just doing what others have already done).
A methods section, where authors desribe how they collected and analyzed data. Statistical analyses are included. This section is quite detailed, as it's important that other researchers be able to verify and/or replicate these methods.
A results section describes the outcomes of the data analysis. Charts and graphs illustrating the results are typically included.
In the discussion, authors will explain their interpretation of their results and theorize on their importance to existing and future research.
References or works cited are always included. These are the articles and books that the authors drew upon to plan their study and to support their discussion.

A review article is a secondary source...it is written about other articles, and does not report original research of its own. Review articles are very important, as they draw upon the articles that they review to suggest new research directions, to strengthen support for existing theories and/or identify patterns among exising research studies. For student researchers, review articles provide a great overview of the exisiting literature on a topic. If you find a literature review that fits your topic, take a look at its references/works cited list for leads on other relevant articles and books!

NOTE from me: "article" and "paper" are synonymous.

WHAT IS A REVIEW PAPER?

The purpose of a review paper is to succinctly review recent progress in a particular topic. Overall, the paper summarizes the current state of knowledge of the topic. It creates an understanding of the topic for the reader by discussing the findings presented in recent research papers.

A review paper is not a "term paper" or book report. It is not merely a report on some references you found. Instead, a review paper synthesizes the results from several primary literature papers to produce a coherent argument about a topic or focused description of a field.

Examples of scientific reviews can be found in:

Scientific American
Science in the "Perspectives" and "Reviews" sections
Nature in the "News and Views" section
Compilations of reviews such as:
Current Opinion in Cell Biology

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development

Annual Review of Plant Physiology and Plant Molecular Biology

Annual Review of Physiology

Trends in Ecology & Evolution

Almost every scientific journal has special review articles.

You should read articles from one or more of these sources to get examples of how your paper should be organized.

Scientists commonly use reviews to communicate with each other and the general public. There are a wide variety of review styles from ones aimed at a general audience (e.g., Scientific American) to those directed at biologists within a particular subdiscipline (e.g., Annual Review of Physiology).

A key aspect of a review paper is that it provides the evidence for a particular point of view in a field. Thus, a large focus of your paper should be a description of the data that support or refute that point of view. In addition, you should inform the reader of the experimental techniques that were used to generate the data.

The emphasis of a review paper is interpreting the primary literature on the subject. You need to read several original research articles on the same topic and make your own conclusions about the meanings of those papers.

Review articles are an attempt to summarize the current state of understanding on a topic.[1] They analyze or discuss research previously published by others, rather than reporting new experimental results.[2][3]

An expert's opinion is valuable, but an expert's assessment of the literature can be more valuable. When reading individual articles, readers could miss features that are apparent to an expert clinician-researcher. Readers benefit from the expert's explanation and assessment of the validity and applicability of individual studies.[4]

Review articles come in the form of systematic reviews and literature reviews and are a form of secondary literature.[5] Systematic reviews determine an objective list of criteria, and find all previously published original experimental papers that meet the criteria. They then compare the results presented in these papers. Literature reviews, by contrast, provide a summary of what the authors believe are the best and most relevant prior publications.

Some academic journals likewise specialize in review of a field; they are known as review journals.

The concept of "review article" is separate from the concept of peer-reviewed literature. It is possible for a review to be peer-reviewed, and it is possible for a review to be non-peer-reviewed.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Review_article#

The SECONDARY LITERATURE consists of publications that rely on primary sources
for information. Here it is not a requirement for the authors to have done the
work themselves, since the purpose of the publication is to summarise and
synthesize knowledge in a specific area for other scientists who already have an
understanding of the topic; however, the authors of secondary publications would
normally have worked and published primary literature in the area they are
writing about. The secondary literature includes review journals, monographic
books and textbooks, handbooks and manuals. Although normally written in a
scientific style, secondary publications are not organised in the same way that
primary publications are; however, it is a universal requirement that they are
fully referenced and that most of these references are to the primary literature.
Scientists use the secondary literature to gain an overview of research areas that
are close to or relevant to their own, or to familiarise themselves with existing
research in new topics on which they plan to start working.

fragmentary research/ work/ study

tak troszke bardziej pejoratywnie niz Kosciuszko (contributory czy contributive to przeciez dokladnie na odwrot, mam wrazenie)
praca przyczynkarska to praca czastkowa, niekompletna

IMO akurat przyklad z Leninem niezle by pasowal na prace fragmentaryczna (oczywiscie praca jest skonczona, ale temat niekoniecznie);
inna jeszcze mozliwosc to "unoriginal" w sensie, ze nic niewnoszaca do nauki
(podstawowym kryterium dla prac doktorskich jest wlasnie "contribution to knowledge", a tu zdaje sie nie byloby wielkiego wkladu);
stad nastepna propozycja to odwrocenie zdania: it will not be a major contribution to knowledge, moze sie na cos zda

work, publication, paper

(reharshing work)

rehash
To bring forth again in another form without significant alteration: rehashing old ideas.
2. To discuss again.

n. (rhsh)
The act or result of rehashing: a rehash of an old plot.
