Graphics and Figures If your agreement foresees providing finished graphics, they must be submitted as soon as possible. Keep in mind that all graphics/illustrations/artwork are processed separately from the text. Also ensure that, as long as they are appropriately cited in the text and individually marked according with their citation, no further guidance needs to be provided concerning their placement on the page. Figure numbering ·Number the figures sequentially, following their appearance in the text, and the chapter number (example: Fig. 2.1 is the first figure in chapter 2). ·Ensure that each figure is cited in the text, for example "The difference between the two curves in Fig. 8.2 indicates that ..." ·Verify that each figure is properly labelled, example units on the x- and y-axes are marked, and that all relevant areas on an anatomical figure are identified. ·If there are several sections to a figure, label them as (for example) 8.2(a), (figure 2 part (a), chapter 8), etc. ·Ensure that spelling and/or abbreviations in the figure are the same as those used in the text. ·Identify all figures with the book title, author name, chapter and figure numbers. ·Whenever the same figures are used again in a new edition, state which figures are to be re-utilized and their re-numbering. Figure captions · Provide a short caption for each figure, reserving more details for the text. · At the end of each chapter, provide a list of numbered figure captions. · Whenever you utilize a figure that has been reproduced on another publication, seek permission to use and appropriately credit the source at the end of the caption, for example: "from Smith (2000) with permission", or "adapted from Smith (2000)". References mentioned in the credit lines are to be provided in their entirety in the Reference list. ·When a figure has multiple parts, ensure that they are explained in the caption. · Explain all symbols (arrows, letters, abbreviations, etc.) in a Legend at the bottom of the figure if these are not used elsewhere. |
