Especially in the case of color images, authors may wish to submit with their manuscript a selection of visual material for editorial office review. Color plates from all articles are printed together on one or several pages. Authors concerned with having article reprints containing all of their illustrations may elect not to include a color image. Lettering on diagrams must be professional quality. No extraneous information, such as the figure number, should appear on the front of the illustration.
Illustrations appear in print exactly as received by the editorial office.
Authors unable to comply with these requirements or uncertain about the reproductive quality of their illustrations should enlist the aid of a graphics professional. Each illustration must be numbered and be referred to by this number in the text of the manuscript. On the reverse side of each print, the author's name and the figure number must be listed and the top of the image indicated. Author's name, figure number, top of the image and right-reading side must be indicated on the edge of slides. In order to minimize the risk of damage, authors are advised to submit each illustration in individual protective, transparent sleeves in an envelope containing rigid material.
