We prefer articles with the following features:

  • Begin with an Introduction that clearly explains the idea of the article. It should also discuss how and why was this idea has been researched.
  • Headings and subheadings should be clear and easily allow the reader to find and understand the various sections of the article.
  • Topic sentences in each paragraph should explain what is going to be covered in that paragraph.
