\section{Introduction}\label{intro}
Welcome to the Health Science Inquiry (HSI) article template! Herein you will find the majority of the information required to format your article per the HSI requirements. Should you find that this article insifficiently describes certain specifics, you are welcome to contact us at \href{mailto:healthscienceinquiry@gmail.com}{healthscienceinquiry@gmail.com} and our layout team would be happy to address these questions! Now, onto the main components!
Given the brevity of the HSI article submissions, concision is key. Succinct paragraphs which convey essential and sequential concepts are strongly suggested in favour of verbosity. The use of section headers will convey the major messages and guide the reader. While this text is found in the \ref{intro} section, you needn't restrict yourself to the conventional ``Introduction-Methods-Results-Conclusion" format, common to most articles. In fact, it is recommended that the author enjoy creative liberties in defining article-appropriate section headers to best communicate the major messages of their work.
\subsection{Subsections Organize your Concepts}
This example of a sub-section demonstrates how a well-described header can succinctly summarize the content of the paragraph. The HSI template supports up to three levels of sub-sections (\textit{i.e.} \\subsubsection\{\}) and deeper subsections are ill-advised; consider the use of additional article elements to organise your content, such a lists:
\begin{itemize}
\item First concept
\item Second concept
\item Third concept
\end{itemize}
This article template encourages the use of BibTex in your \LaTeX articles as exemplified in the sample.bib file provided in this template. The number of references is managed internally and you need only include the citation of the BibTex entry key \cite{example1,example2}.

\section{Visual Elements}
The HSI article template supports the inclusion of various visual elements such as figures, tables, and algorithms. Please refer to Table \ref{table:example} to see how you might format a table. Either the \textbf{t} or \textbf{b} options should be used to ensure that \LaTeX places visual elements at either the top or bottom of a column. These visual elements should never appear in the middle of a given column. It is also good practise to avoid having visual elements next to one another. When one column contains a visual element at the top of a column, the adjacent column should only have another visual element at the bottom. A single column with visual elements at \textit{both} the top and bottom should only be considered when two share highly complimentary information to orient the reader.

When preparing figures, vector-based files are recommended (\textit{i.e.} SVG, PDF, EPS) as they provide tremendous flexibility in sizing your figures without a loss in resolution. Since HSI articles are distributed digitally, vector-based graphics are best ideally suited to all levels of zooming. It is acceptable to use JPEG images if the content is photographic as long as the resolutions and dots-per-inch (DPI) are appropriate (\textit{e.g.} $\geq 300$). We strongly advise against screenshot images unless capturing computer-based visual content.
When choosing colours, please consider the recommendations from \cite{rougier2014ten}. Colours should only be used sparingly and when alternative black and white images fail to convey the figure message. For example, a flow chart does \textbf{not} require colours since the message is concisely captured in the black and white representation (Fig. \ref{fig:example}).

Ideally, the profile picture of all authors would have matching dimensions. The HSI article recommends using a high-resolution .PNG image with square dimensions or 2:3 aspect ratio (width:height; portrait).

\biographybox{images/AnonymousAuthor2.png}{This is an example of an overly long bio; clearly Author Two is very accomplished! Following the recommendations above, someone with a long bio should use an image with portrait dimensions. The BiographyBox specifies only the \textbf{width} of both the image and text box so the two can grow vertically, but not horizontally. Irrespective of image and text size, the two will always remain vertically centered.

A separate paragraph can be added using the \textbf{\textbackslash vspace\{6px\}} command. The BiographyBox is implemented using a \LaTeX~\textbf{table*} and so the \textbackslash \textbackslash~should \textbf{never} be used.
