N2 - GLANCE (Graphical Layout Tool for Analytical Chemistry Evaluation) is an innovative and adaptable free, editable template specifically designed to help researchers visually summarize their analytical chemistry methods in a structured and clear manner. It provides an accessible solution to the challenge of presenting complex scientific data, offering a significant advantage over traditional reporting methods, which often lack visual clarity. This is crucial because no previous tool has been developed to summarize analytical methods in such a comprehensive and concise visual format, significantly enhancing the process of gathering and presenting key information, particularly in review articles. The GLANCE template (bit.ly/409cwDd) is composed of twelve distinct attributes, each targeting critical aspects of method development (novelty, analytes, sample preparation, reagents, instrumentation, method validation, matrix effects and recoveries, application to real samples, analytical metrics, main results, limitations, and additional information). By filling out each block with keywords or short phrases, authors can provide a concise yet thorough overview of their method. Once completed, the template can be easily downloaded and included in scientific articles. This straightforward integration enhances both the clarity and accessibility of publications, providing the scientific community with a quick snapshot of the principal features of research.
