A one sentence summary of the core contribution goes here

This is where you have a summary paragraph. You could create an initial summary using an AI LLM. Here is an example prompt that has been used in the past:

Create a 2 paragraph summary of this paper so that any university student could understand it. Do not open with acknowledgment phrases or filler. Do not close with a summary. Use active voice. Vary sentence length—mix short and long sentences, never three of similar length in a row. Avoid the pattern of stating something and immediately explaining it. Each sentence must add new information. Write in plain English; replace jargon with simpler words wherever possible. Never AI indicative words like 'delve',. Avoid the 'It's not X, it's Y' pattern.” Write the summary as if the authors had provided this summary. But don't use any personal pronouns. Keep it professional and sound like a researcher.
