The artwork submitted for publication in ACS books will be used as camera-ready copy. Therefore the clarity of the printed illustrations depends on the quality of the original illustrations you provide. Please send original artwork. If your original figures are larger than the margins specified in the sample chapter, we will reduce them.
Photocopies are unacceptable.
Write the figure number and indicate the top of the figure on the back of each figure. Use a separate label and affix it to the back. Do not tape, glue, or paste anything onto or around a figure. Avoid textures and shadings. When referring to a figure in the text, write out the word Figure and indicate the figure number with an Arabic numeral, for example, Figure 2.
