Final decision and next step

After acceptance, Authors will need to send Word or LaTeX source files of the final version of articles as well as original source files of figures (drawings/diagrams/graphs or photographs).

All figure/photo files must be high-quality – with resolution no lower than 300 dpi.

For diagrams and graphs vector EPS or vector PDF files are the most useful. Most drawing and graphing packages (e.g. Mathematica, Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, MATLAB) allow the user to save files in one of these formats. Make sure that what you are saving is a 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.

Each figure should be saved in separate file – the name of the file has to be numbered.

Pack all figure files into a single archive (zip, tar, rar or other format) and then upload on the magazine web site.
