El título y el resumen son las partes más importantes de un artículo porque son las partes más leídas, por eso, todas las palabras del título deben elegirse con mucho cuidado y su asociación con las otras partes del artículo debe gestionarse con cautela.  Métodos.  Se hizo una revisión de la literatura disponible sobre el tema en cuestión y se expusieron las recomendaciones más relevantes desde el punto de vista de los editores.  Resultados.  Es esencial que el título y el resumen contengan todos los términos importantes o palabras clave que los lectores potenciales llegarían a usar en la búsqueda de literatura relevante y artículos relacionados. Se debe seleccionar un título que capte la atención y que estimule a los interesados a seguir leyendo. El desafío es encontrar un título que no sea demasiado largo pero que describa con precisión el contenido del manuscrito.  Conclusión.  El título debe tener la menor cantidad posible de palabras que describan adecuadamente el contenido del artículo, ajustado a las instrucciones para los autores de la revista escogida para la publicación. Un buen título debe ser conciso, transmitir los temas principales de la investigación y resaltar la importancia de los hallazgos.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract  Introduction.  The title and abstract are the most important parts of an article because they are the most read parts, so all words in the title must be chosen very carefully and their association with the other parts of the article must be managed carefully.  Methods.  A review of the available literature on the topic in question was conducted and the most relevant recommendations from the editors&#8217; point of view were presented.  Results.  It is essential that the title and abstract contain all the important terms or keywords that potential readers would use when searching for relevant literature and related articles. An attention-grabbing title should be selected that will encourage interested readers to continue reading. The challenge is to find a title that is not too long but accurately describes the content of the manuscript.  Conclusion.  The title should be as short as possible in terms that adequately describe the content of the article, in accordance with the instructions for the authors of the journal chosen for publication. A good title should be concise, convey the main themes of the research, and highlight the importance of the findings.]]></p></abstract>
