这个highlights在投稿的时候就应该需要的啊

Highlights

Highlights are three to five (three to four for Cell Press articles) bullet points that help increase the discoverability of your article via search engines. These bullet points should capture the novel results of your research as well as new methods that were used during the study (if any). Think of them as the "elevator pitch" of your article. Please include terms that you know your readers will be looking for online. Don't try to capture all ideas, concepts or conclusions as highlights are meant to be short: 85 characters or fewer, including spaces.

The small print

• Only required for full research articles
• Must be provided as a Word document— select "Highlights" from the drop-down list when uploading files
• Each Highlight can be no more than 85 characters, including spaces
• No jargon, acronyms, or abbreviations: aim for a general audience and use keywords
• Consider the reader - Highlights are the first thing they'll see

Examples

From: Cancer Cell, Volume 32, Issue 2, 14 August 2017, Pages 169-184.e7

Highlights

• Metastases mostly disseminate late from primary breast tumors, keeping most drivers
• Drivers at relapse sample from a wider range of cancer genes than in primary tumors
• Mutations in SWI-SNF complex and inactivated JAK-STAT signaling enriched at relapse
• Mutational processes similar in primary and relapse; radiotherapy can damage genome

From: Learning and Instruction, Volume 21, Issue 6, December 2011, 746-756

Highlights

• Fading of a script alone does not foster domain-general strategy knowledge
• Performance of the strategy declines during the fading of a script
• Monitoring by a peer keeps performance of the strategy up during script fading
• Performance of a strategy after fading fosters domain-general strategy knowledge
• Fading and monitoring by a peer combined foster domain-general strategy knowledge
