Figures

Multipart figures ought to be labeled with lowercase letters (a, b, etc.). Please insert keys and scale bars directly in the figures. Provide a detailed legend (without abbreviations) for each figure, refer to the figure in the text, and note its approximate location in the margin. Only black and white figures must be submitted. The resolution of the figure must at least be 300 dpi. Figures that are prepared in excel should be sent along with their source of data. Please avoid giving Figures as Fig.1a, Fig.1b, etc. Each Figure should stand alone.

 

Tables

Each table should be numbered consecutively (1, 2, etc.). In tables, footnotes are preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the table. Such explanatory footnotes, identified by superscript letters, should be placed immediately below the table.

The same data should not be presented simultaneously in tables and figures.
