1. Fundamental Structure

Most editorial guides, such as that of the Universidad Veracruzana, suggest this order:
Attractive Title: It should be short, suggestive, and capable of capturing the attention of a non-specialist reader.
Introduction (The "Hook"): Presents the topic dynamically. You can begin with a provocative question, a striking statistic, or an anecdote.
Body or Development: Explains the concepts in an organized manner. This is the core where the "how" and "why" of the topic are detailed.
Conclusion: Summarizes the key points and underscores the importance of the topic for society or the future of research.
Bibliographic References: List of reliable sources that support the information.

2. Style and Content Requirements
Accessible Language: Avoid unnecessary technical jargon. If you must use a complex term, define it with analogies or everyday examples.

Scientific Rigor: Although the tone may be simple, the information must be truthful and based on previous research or verified data.
Visual Aids: Whenever possible, include images, graphs, or tables that facilitate the visual understanding of the data.
Length: These are generally short texts. For example, some journals require a maximum of four pages.

3. Author Information
It is common to request specific information to validate the text:
Full name and institutional affiliation.
Brief curriculum vitae or author profile.
ORCID identifier if the publication is academic.
