5. On the final page you will insert your article title, your major, your year, the type of submission (industry profile, concert/album review, or opinion piece). If you know the related fields of your work, and what the key words are to help search engines index and find your article, add them now, if not, you can add them later in the editorial process, if your article is chosen for publication.
