Preparing illustrations and figures
Figures and images should be labeled sequentially, numbered, and cited in the text. The legends should be included in the main manuscript text file and be a part of the figure file (using Arabic numerals; maximum figure title is 15 words and detailed legend, up to 300 words). The use of three-dimensional histograms is strongly discouraged when the addition of the third dimension gives no extra information. The following file formats can be accepted: 
PDF (also especially suitable for diagrams) 
PNG (preferred format for photos or images)
Microsoft Word (figures must be a single page)
PowerPoint (figures must be a single page)
TIFF
JPEG

Preparing tables
These should be numbered in sequence using Arabic numerals (i.e. Table 1, 2, 3, etc.). Tables should also have a title that summarizes the whole table, a maximum of 15 words. The table should be in portrait format (note that tables on a landscape page must be reformatted onto a portrait page or submitted as additional files). 

Preparing additional files
Supplementary information is peer-reviewed material directly relevant to the conclusion of an article that cannot be included in the printed version owing to space or format constraints. Any additional files will be linked to the final published article in the form supplied by the author but will not be displayed within the paper. They will be made available in exactly the same form as originally provided.
If additional material is provided, please list the following information in a separate section of the manuscript text at the end of the document text file:
Filename
File format (including name and a URL of an appropriate viewer if the format is unusual)
Title of data
Description of data
