After acceptance, Authors will need to submit the original source files for all photos, diagrams and graphs in manuscript.For diagrams and graphs vector EPS or vector PDF files are the most useful. Make sure that what you're saving is vector graphics and not a bitmap. Please also include the original data for any plots. This is particularly important if you are unable to save Excel-generated plots in vector format. Saving them as bitmaps is not useful; please send the Excel (.xls) spreadsheets instead.Photographs should be high-quality – with resolution no lower than 300 dpi.Pack all figure files into a single archive (zip, tar, rar or other format) and then upload on the magazine web site.
