German term

Werkbeitrag

German to English Other Printing & Publishing contribution to magazine
from a contract between an author and a company.

The author carried out tests on a dental product at a university and agreed to write an article about the tests, “der auf die Tests der Universität XXX verweist und zur Publikation im XX Magazin eingereicht werden soll („Werkbeitrag“).The author “räumt (name of company) ein unbefristetes einfaches Nutzungsrecht am Werkbeitrag im Sinne des Urheberrechtsgesetzes ein“. The company can therefore use the article in its advertising material. The author will receive a fee “für die Erstellung des Werkbeitrages.“

There is a previous entry for Werkbeitrag but I don’t think the term is being used in the same sense here as it refers here to a contribution to a magazine.

work product

is what it looks like.

"Regular Academic Work Product" means any copyrightable work product which is an artistic creation or which constitutes, or is intended to disseminate the results of, academic research or scholarly study. Regular academic work product includes, but is not limited to, books, class notes, theses and dissertations, course materials designed for the web, distance education and other technology-oriented educational materials, articles, poems, musical works, dramatic works, pantomimes and choreographic works, pictorial, graphic and sculptural works, or other works of artistic imagination. Software specifically needed to support a regular academic work product or which is designed to disseminate the results of academic research and scholarly study is also considered a regular academic work product.

article

You yourself use the word "article", and this seems the most obvious word for a contribution to a magazine.
