Illustrations
Charts, graphs and other illustrations are to be embedded in Word (Windows environment), and also submitted as separate electronic files for the production editor. This makes it easier to make changes (such as spelling corrections). Preferred formats are JPG, PCX, and TIF as well as native Excel (*.XLS) and Power Point (*.PPT). Figures should be referenced in the text and Figure legends included. The legend should explain all symbols used in the Figure. Tables should be placed on a separate page. Tables should be referenced in text with Roman Numerals in consecutive order. Each Table should be identified (similar to a Figure legend) and each column within the table should have an appropriate heading.
Identify all illustrative material with the figure number and principal author's name written in pencil on the back. Figure legends should be included, each identified by its proper number. All symbols used in the figures should be explained in the legends. Each table should be on a separate page. In text, tables should be referred to by roman numerals in consecutive order. Every table and column within a table must have an appropriate heading.
