Agenda
- Governance
- Editorial review
- Review Editing Framework and revise as necessary
- Revision suggestions from Samanthaj, continued from last week:
- Extra words: enhance readability by eliminating unnecessary phrases like "in order to," "seem to be," and "in conclusion." Short sentences are easier to read.
- Latin shortcuts: avoid latin shortcuts, since not everyone reading our articles speaks English as a first language. Includes: "i.e.", "etc.", "e.g."
- Alt text: always include alt text for images to accommodate people using screenreaders
