The title page should include a one-page abstract (approximately 6 lines) and a brief autobiographical description (approximately 2-3 lines), which will appear in the published article if the work is selected. If the manuscript has been delivered at a conference, has been previously published, or is part of a broader research project, please indicate this not the title page as well; be sure to include all relevant information. ​
