Title: As concise and catchy as possible to attract readers
Excerpt: Provide context and a summary for readers with the intention of attracting them to read the article. Length of around 20 – 40 words.
Main Body: Provide a detailed breakdown of the problem and the writer’s analyses, perspectives and potential solutions.

Ensure relevant affiliations and disclosures are noted here. Please limit this section to two sentences excluding your disclosures.
