Body of text: The ideal Editorial, begins with an introductory paragraph that immediately presents the issues under discussion in a way that captures the reader’s interest. The introduction should be general enough to orient the reader not familiar with the specifics of the field being discussed. Here, and throughout the article, the author should avoid the jargon and special terms of his or her field or system. If the language of specialists is necessary, define terms for the general reader. The body of the text should, in the limited space available, develop the discussion in a lively manner. Section headings can be used when necessary and should be short (no more than 30 characters).The final paragraph should draw the piece to a concise conclusion, without simply restating the text.
Figures: The figure should illustrate the essential message of the article. It can be a drawing, graph, chart, table, or photograph. The point is to catch the eye while informing the reader.
