Short summary
Electron energization is an outstanding issue in magnetic reconnection, which is a hot topic in plasma physics and astrophysics. Four different structures have been proposed for electron energization during reconnection. We find that there is no specific sequence of electron energization through the four structures; there is no specific order of electron acceleration efficiency among the four structures, and electron energization occurs in a wide region around X-line.
