| Sumario: | The article focuses on the importance of the editor screen in the manuscript submission process, where journal editors conduct an initial review to assess relevance, novelty, and adherence to journal style before deciding if a paper proceeds to peer review or is desk rejected. It emphasizes that authors should carefully craft clear, concise, and keyword-rich titles and abstracts, as these are critical for passing the editor screen and attracting readers, especially since titles are often the first and sometimes only part read. The article provides seven specific recommendations for writing effective titles, including using relevant keywords, indicating study type, placing main terms at the beginning, avoiding questions and acronyms, and keeping titles concise to improve discoverability and reader engagement.
