The writing of the title deserves special care. It should convey the greatest amount of information in the smallest number of words. Words that do not carry information, such as “The...”, “A...”, “On...”, “Investigation of...”, “Study of...”, should be omitted. For manuscripts submitted to the Comments section, “Comment on...” followed by the title of the paper to which the Comment refers is, however, good practice. Do not use in the title words that praise the quality of the work (precise, important, accurate), the name of the accelerator or type of detector used, names of people or places, coined words or acronyms, “More about...”, “...revisited”, or dangling participles (...using...). Do not use serial numbers in titles unless the number is followed by a specific title, such as “Inelastic scattering of protons. IV. Coupled channels analyses.” If you wish to use a serial number, please provide information on the other published articles in the series.
