== Important Elements ==
There are some accompanying elements to articles that need to be thought of as well.
* Abstract: Every article needs an abstract that will be displayed to allow readers who land on the front page of the DSN to get a general sense of the topic. These should aim to be about 40-50 words long.
* Accessibility: All images need to be accompanied by descriptive text for assistive devices to use. Also, a description should accompany the image to allow the reader to understand it. All images should be WCAG 2.0 AAA compliant.
