Provide editable files for tables, graphs, or diagrams
Please provide all figures in the original file type they were created in (such as .xlsx or .pptx) or in an editable/vector format (such as .eps or .pdf). You may need to export data from your analysis software rather than saving as an image.
Provide the highest-resolution images available
Original image files may be in .tif, .jpg, or .png format. These files should never be embedded in Word or PowerPoint documents, as that will reduce their quality.
Let us know your target journal
Our experts will use your target journal’s specific guidelines to format your figures to their exact requirements.
Consider the size restrictions of your chosen journal
It is best to plan for your illustration to fit onto one page of a print journal. If you include too many elements in a single illustration, your order may be delayed while we ask you to decide how to divide it into two or more illustrations.
Please only upload figures or tables that require formatting
Please upload only the figures you would like our team to format. For example, if you include ten figures and two tables but only order formatting for three items, your order may be delayed while we clarify which items you wish to have formatted. You may also leave a note on your order to let us know which figures and/or tables to format.
